    providing advice

    They do, it’s called the republican party and conservative think tanks.

    supporting children and parents

    I mean other than your own family, why would you do that? Sounds like extra work when you want to be retired.

    spreading their community’s history

    That’s called Facebook, it exists. That’s where they spread their conservative politics.

    You seem to think that old people would be interested in any of this. Most wouldn’t. They’re loaded, they can live like kings without being bothered by a bunch of young people. Why would anyone want to put in extra work when they don’t have to?

      Most humans actually care about the communities and families that raised them. They will put in the work to give advice and help where they can for these groups whwn they grow old IF those groups cared about them as they were being raised.

        A few do that, but mostly old people just own the entire world and complain how nobody wants to work anymore. But surely if we kick out all the immigrants (the hardest workers), things will be better.

      Most of the older people I know already support their communities in some way. I’m sorry if the ones you know don’t.

      I wonder if that’s a society-wide impulse where you are- are younger people active in the community where you live? Is there a sense of community at all?
