This is a heat-seeking missile of a policy aimed at Gen-X and elder millennial women.

or at anyone who is a parent or child of a parent

Speaking as a GenX woman who has buried two parents and an in-law, I have a painfully firm grip of how much this is going to help people.

Gen-X men also a secondary target of opportunity.

It applies to women in terms of life disrupted. It applies to men in terms of money.

My mom is 74, my in-laws are 80 and 89. My husband is an only child and I’m the only child who can/will help. This is for us, both 49 and raising a teenager. We’re just at driving to doctor’s appointments and explaining medicine now, but we know what’s coming.

I’m 47. Only child. Mom of two teens. My parents are early 70s and in terrible shape. My MIL died a couple of weeks ago. FIL is luckily pretty fit. While everyone probably has too much money saved (hallelujah) to qualify, I am so relieved by the attention Harris is giving us sandwiched people.

I (49) have left my life on the east coast and am working remotely caring for my Mom while she is in hospice in the midwest. So many of my friends are in the same boat. My first priority was voting before I left and my Mom just wants to make it to 11/5 so she can vote.

It will help a broad swath of people

Yes, exactly. I hate that this applies more specifically to women of those generations, but you're probably right about that too.
