I flew a few days ago and noticed something new that sent a chill up my back.  No, it wasn’t the inept TSA agents confiscating my shampoo bottle because it was 2 inches too big, it was the long line of wheel chairs aligned along the wall waiting to pre-board my flight.  It suddenly hit me that in less than 10 years, there would be 80 million boomers retiring and a large percentage would probably be planning on traveling various places.
If there are a half dozen people waiting to pre-board now, what will happen in 10 years?  How about 15 years?  Will flights be delayed because there’s 30 people waiting in wheel chairs to board a plane?   It wasn’t just the pre-board flight though, it was the long line going through TSA checkpoints that added delays too.

Of course, all those wheelchairs need to be pushed by someone so that means more airport employees cluttering the already overcrowded understaffed TSA checkpoints and other airport walkways.  Perhaps it will mean more airport carts driving up/down the walkways too.

Of course, then I started thinking about all those parking spaces with the wheelchair logo; Will most parking lots be dedicated for handicapped parking?

What about grocery stores and retail outlets?  I recall a couple of older people arguing over who was getting the electric shopping cart at Target one day but didn’t give it a second thought until now.  What happens when there’s 30 people waiting for these?

Of course, this led me to all sorts of investment ideas but I’m not sure if I could capitalize on them yet but it did concern me greatly that the logistics of every retail store, airport boarding line, parking lot and anything else you can think of will have to change radically to accommodate our aging population and the needed wheel chairs.  It’s going to be a different world very soon.
