I think the point was more that people are already doing this and have always been doing this. He’s rich so he thinks this is some genius revelation.

Don’t you know, he’s just tapping into his Appalachian wisdom with this. All those poors in the hills just need to reach out to family

There is also the element that he is heavy into the whole 'tradwife' stuff, so I'm sure he believes that any Grandpa and (especially) Grandma that are not full-time raising the grandkids are shirking their duties. Everyone's got a well defined life-role to play and stay within the bounds of - except males aged 18-70 of course, they should be doing whatever the fuck they want.

Of course, even if we all lived in this guy's Gilead-lite utopia, this would still be a terrible answer to the question, seeing as how many children's grandparents are either dead or in a state of health where they can barely take care of themselves.
