I have to admit up front that the title might be unfair. I am sure that to a certain extent the vast preponderance of old people simply reflects those who are willing to be on camera and who needed help. And I also need to warn that from my perspective the videos are on the cringe side but that is more a reflection of me then any great truth.

All those caveats aside, I can’t but help suspect that the below videos show the struggles that an aging society has in dealing with natural disaster. I suspect that the fact that the mountain communities were snowed in like what is shown in the video for over two weeks is as much due to the fact that they have the demographic profile of retirement communities then it has to do with unusual weather (as one old lady notes in one of the below videos, this has happened before in her lifetime). I can’t but help suspect that the fact that a bunch of Mormons from Utah (the stars of this U-tube channel I know for a fact are Mormon, not sure if all there crew is but a lot of them do come from Utah….) have to go rescue people in California deal with snow says something about where America is experiencing demographic decline and where it is still experiencing some growth. When I think about my neighborhood and community at large, I don’t think we are too different although I suspect that the people who would come to the rescue in this area are more likely to be Amish and Mennonite (or ex-Mennonite) then Mormon. But watch the videos below and see what you think.

Since 1976, there have been six leaders of the CCP. Of these six leaders, five of them were managed either by Mao or by Deng Xiaoping. Essentially, the vast majority of the successions were handled by these two giants who had oversized charisma, oversized prestige, and unshakeable political capital. Now we have one leader who doesn’t really have that. He relies mostly on formal power, and that’s why he has accumulated so many titles, whereas he’s making similar succession errors as the previous two leaders.
