Nah. Food is cheap and plentiful. We don't need young people working in fields for old people to be fed.

You do understand that just dumping a bag of produce at grandmas door isn’t enough?

She needs to pay rent, get medical treatment and maybe even help around the house because she isn’t as nimble as before

You understand that there will still be a lot of labor available. It's not like there will NO workers.
