Tough Talk: October 5, 2023

Tough Talk,

I have a younger sister who has developmental disabilities and needs care givers.  My wife and I are successful, but with both of us retiring, we can’t offer the support that he had.  What do you think we should do TT?  (Hershey, Minnesota)

Candy Bar,

Unfortunately in America, you’ll have to end up dropping her off in a state institution.  It’s ugly, it’s bleak, but what other choice do you have?  It’s no different than Iranian nomads leaving their parents to die by the river when they are too old to travel.  Make no mistake, we are moving back to medieval times.  We all should have seen this coming.  I know I did.
