Thanks! Good analysis. And you're right, we are an aging population. Rhiannon12866 Jan 2023 #2

I thought he was fair. His main point is that now millennials are speaking up for a share of the resources, like child care, for example, and that competes with the money available for senior housing and other resources needed by a (very large) group of aging people.

Stephanie Ruhle likes doing these interviews at least once a week on her show. She mainly does a news wrap for those who tune in late since she's the sign off, but by 11, most of the day's big news has already been reported. Though sometimes she gets an exclusive on the late day news, she devoted her entire show to Damar Hamlin.
