It does , however, specifically refer to able bodied individuals who could work, but instead choose to run scams, or deal drugs, or have 6 children by 6 different fathers then lay all day on the couch watching Oprah. Believe me, I can find work for them---they won't like it, but I'd find it.

We all realize that TODAY in the US our most productive workforce........the aged 25 to 45 has been DECIMATED AND ARE LITERALLY DEAD because of the Fentanyl scourge and curse! many of these DEAD are white-collar CAPTAINS of industry. No wonder the unemployment figure is low. Someone needed to move upward to fill those positions vacated by the DEAD Fentanyl users. These people will NEVER get a chance to retire!
........And to retire to a place like The Village when they could, hopefully, afford a nice house and active life.
........Part of the reason for these Fentanyl deaths is the pressure on college graduates to succeed in the economy. Some try to medicate (with a deadly drug) the pressure away. That pressure is because there is NO natural middle class anymore in the US. Due to UNIONS being destroyed and colleges being too expensive for average people. These Fentanyl deaths are almost like the situation in ancient ROME when the Romans became increasingly decadent.
.......As to what is affordable, like a Village retirement life - a lot depends on the whole US economic society having a strong middle class that can make it through that age 25 to 45 period without resorting to KILLER DRUGS. A stronger middle class makes a stronger Village retirement enterprise, which contributes to a stronger America!
