Aging with Dignity in a Solarpunk Future

In this episode we introduce our new climate news segment. Then we examine the U.S. social security system, how it's funded and distributed, as well as the current attacks and drive to privatize this century old system of public, collective care. Then we pivot and imagine what elder care and aging with dignity might look like in a more compassionate and decentralized solarpunk future. Hosted on Acast.
