Japan’s shrinking and aging population is spurring efforts by businesses to find new ways to keep the elderly employed for longer, as they seek to address a chronic and expanding labor shortage. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2023/12/04/japan-labor-shortage-elderly-workers/?utm_content=bufferf39cd&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #business #jobs #elderly #nursingcare #restaurants

With the good tax news that my assessment for tax purposes fell by 2.2%, comes bad condo association news. On top of the current 7-year Special Assessment, we will have a 1-year Special Assessment to cover expenses to repave the parking lot. My part is $45/mo for 12 months! I am one very, very unhappy condo owner. It is very hard to do long range planning with stuff like this. That lops off another $50/mo from my available spending on top of the previous Special Assessment and the Medicare costs that started last May. #Condo #CondoLiving #Elderly #Retirement

They think #Democrats don't have an answer to their attacks on #SeniorCitizens and #elderly ?
#republicans ignore #kamalaharris at their own expense.
Funny how Republicans respond to the decline in #boomer votes.

The stench on people supporting genocide should indeed stick to people in life and death. Some things can and should never be forgiven.
Please, remember during all future elections at least. Don't have the attention span of a fly.

This could have so easily happened to my dad. He insisted on staying in his house for just a bit longer than was actually safe for him given his mobility issues. When his home health aide called my brother and I about him having a possible fall, we immediately went down and had him assessed. We then realized that he needed more help than he could get at home. I was so afraid that something like this would happen (gift article): https://wapo.st/3QKaUKS

Older people who love to drive need not to give up on their passion after surrendering their driver's license, as many Japanese automakers and startups are creating new personal mobility solutions to cater for their unabated desire for driving. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2023/11/01/companies/japan-mobility-show-elderly-driving/?utm_content=buffer05d71&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #business #companies #driving #elderly #carmakers #cars

"SINGAPORE – At an ageing block of rental flats in Queenstown, Aiden the robot works as a “butler”. Somewhat resembling a photocopier machine, it has been roped in to deliver meals to a group of frail seniors living in rental flats, under an existing programme that allows them to live independently."

Insurance companies and middle men are not paying us for our work. They fine us for every mistake we make or put us through so much hell we don't bother fighting back. And yet we love millionaires because they worked hard for their money. None of us will ever be one. The vast majority of Americans retire in poverty and die in poverty. #poverty #elderly #oldage #millionaires
