    Nice post...timing is interesting as I was just a bit earlier listening about the senseless loss of seniors through the Covid pandemic...combined with the awful care many receive late in life...a damn shame...funny how we can dig up funding for such b.s. things yet easily overlook things to help vets/seniors...frustrating...entering that stage of life where college has been paid for and care for parents begins...challenge for many I'm sure
