Hi, I’m Mike — I run this channel.
I started Brain Snacks to explore big questions and complex topics, and to try explaining them in plain English. I’m not an expert in any of these subjects — just a curious person trying to make sense of the world.
Instead of diving super deep, we keep things high level and accessible. No jargon. Just a clean overview of how things work, with a bit of history, a touch of technical insight, and a look at the economic, social, and future implications of whatever we’re talking about.
This is my curiosity journey — and you’re welcome to come along.

America’s population is getting older — fast. Every day, 10,000 Americans turn 65, reshaping our workforce, economy, and healthcare system. In this episode of Brain Snacks, we break down why the U.S. population is aging, the economic ripple effects, and what can be done to prepare. Learn how declining birth rates, longer life expectancy, and the retirement of the Baby Boomer generation are shifting America’s demographics — and what lessons we can take from countries like Japan, Italy, and Germany. We’ll explore the challenges ahead for Social Security, Medicare, housing, and labor markets, plus practical solutions from immigration reform to investing in productivity.
Keywords: America’s aging problem, U.S. demographics, Social Security reform, Medicare, Baby Boomers, aging population, declining birth rates, economic impact of aging, population pyramid, retirement trends.
