We, especially in Michigan, have built our communities to require cars for our basic needs. Many people wouldn’t be able to reach even a grocery store without a car. Even for people who are able to drive and afford access to a vehicle, we all have to pretend we’ll never grow too old to drive.
The intersection of health and driving ability is a tricky one, especially for older adults.
Our new poll looks at this issue in people over 65, both nationally and in Michigan.

Most older drivers aren’t thinking about the road ahead, poll suggests
More than 80% of people over 65 drive at least weekly, but less than half have a plan for a time when they can’t or shouldn’t drive; few have talked to a health professional about it

Do you know why I like it here? I can stop scrolling, go up and watch a dumb video and I won't have to pay for it the way I do with the Instagram algorithm. Like, no, I don't want to watch thousands of baseball clips from the '90s, I just paused to see where one single home run would land, sue me.

Writing job applications messes with your head. You can’t just use a food processor anymore, you “demonstrate expert-level use of Microsoft Food.”
