Forwarded from Old North State (Tisk Tisk)
In traditional societies there’s no “retirement.”
In the Old South when folks grew too old for labor they spent their days with grandchildren, gardening, cooking, telling stories etc.
They weren’t off enjoying being childless, they were still valuable family members.
