And they hold their heads so high and proud and full of judgement. They fucked up a country really badly and are proud of themselves for it. They can’t understand why you can’t buy a house when you had a college education even if you spell it out for them and sit them down and show them the numbers. I sat down and drew out for my dad what his salary in 1975 as a new loan officer would translate to today and showed him what a loan officer actually makes today. His response was “then they should get a different higher paying job.”
