Listening to family members actively shit on renters, while we are renting is hilarious
Boomer: “These renters are messing things up”
Us: “We rent”
Boomer: “Oh not you”
Us: “Oh!? Then what do you MEAN then!?”
Boomer: *silence*

From 1955 -> 2005, mainly the young, destitute or those who had trouble holding down a job = renters
Housing was cheaper and easier and they judge things through that lens?
“Everyone but my defined in group is terrible and out to get me”
It is constant, lacking all empathy and it is EXHAUSTING
It's exhausting, and I'm not sure it's worth it.
I've got a plague of this going around the home town family and old pals.

Boomer: Single mothers are ruining society.
Me: You know I was a single mother when you met me.
Boomer: Not you. You're different.
Me screaming into the void: I'M EXACTLY THE SAME AS THEM EXCEPT THAT YOU KNOW ME.
