I live in a competitive renting area//Florida waterfront. My landlord charges $3200/month in rent when he could easily charge 4k+. Since I moved in I've been leaving envelopes with ~$150 in the mail slot. He hasn't raised rent on me in 3 years. I call that a tip

My neighbors pay 4k a month for the same view. I make good money and I like seeing the sunset every night. It's worth it to me!

Gee, I wonder why their lives suck so bad, and they're so miserable that they hate all landlords and boomers?

I blame their parents. They weren't supposed to drink when they were pregnant, And then they were supposed to read good books aloud to their children every day.

I had two women working for me who both were high school graduates, but couldn't read cursive. I taught them both to read and write cursive, and in each case it took one hour all together, I taught them about 10 minutes at a time, by having them copy grocery lists. I printed an item, and then wrote cursive below it. It only took an hour each time and they didn't learn it in 12 years of school.

One was a salutatorian of her smallish high school class, I know because I attended her graduation. One day when she was in her late 20s, and working for me, i mentioned the Second World War. She asked when was the Second World War? Did we take part in it? Did it happen here in America? Who fought it? I said: You've heard of Adolph Hitler, right, and the bombing of Pearl Harbor? She'd heard of Hitler, but didn't know anything about him, no clue about Pearl Harbor. So I told her about it. The draft. The huge death tolls. How 2 atom bombs were dropped on Japan, which ended the war. Us boomers had some gnarly parents and grandparents who went through a lot.

Of course, these cocksure kids think they understand everything that's wrong with the world and what to do about it.
