    I try to be tolerant but the largest demographic I have issues with regularly are old white women. Not all of them, some are absolute sweetheart old grandma types. but when I get a complaint 99% of the time it’s from them and it’s usually the most asinine reason.

    No Donna, I will not perpetuate the grudge you have on your neighbour,

    No Susan, I will not fire my trans employee,

    No Ruth Im not responsible for the damage your snow contractor did to your walkway over the wintrer

    No Marge, the price to cut your lawn will not be the same as I quoted when we agreed to the price, because you changed the scope of work after we started. Bait and switch is not a bargaining tactic.

    I mean, only if our system works such that people can reliably accumulate enough surplus to comfortably retire at a reasonable age… Which it does not 😅

    Discounts for those who retired and dont have income anymore is a pro-labor position. We’re just all mad that the people who would currently get them had a better chance of fairness and pulled the ladder up after them like assholes
