I don't fault my parents and in laws for everything but they don't seem to understand just how expensive and degraded things are.
I told my mom we were struggling to find a network of children for our kids to be around and she scoffed that we were paying for a play group. Just go to the park she says. We go to the park and it's empty. Literally. Maybe 1 kid who isn't even our kids' ages. And often it'll just be some neglected boonspawn.

That's what I realized. They're so gacked out by the TV that they don't even understand the country, as they know it, doesn't exist anymore.
It's like when I redid my bathroom and I told them how much I paid:
*"Ohh, you got ripped off! I can't believe you paid that much!"*
**4 months later**
*"Wow! A new hot water heater is like triple the price I remember paying last time!"*
They don't even make the connection.
I'm wondering if the polio vaccine didn't invert the tendencies of certain genetics and bloodlines, because it really is boggling how you can prove them wrong right to their face and they just won't accept it. Like a small child or something.

Holy shit lol this is my life. My in laws were bitching because we didn't get married their way and when we explained we wanted to have a nice ceremony and that was difficult and expensive right now for us, MIL said why not just have a plantation wedding, as it only costs like 3000$ total. We laughed in her face. It would cost 10k to have just the venue they had today. Let alone all the other bullshit.
My friend got married in a national forest, in a place you could hold a summer camp. $5k for the space for a weekend (2 nights), probably $10k for the entire wedding.
It was REALLY fucking nice for what was clearly a shoestring budget. No hired help either: they personally knew the photographer, band, and officiant ahead of time.

They live in fantasy land.
The talmudivision is their "reality", theyre demoralized.
