Literally had one such old person checking out my shared house the other day and telling my younger housemate, who’s struggling to find proper work, to “try harder”. Guess who didn’t get to stay in the house.

    That same person would be lost of they were out of work because, surprise, the world has changed since they got into their career.

    Oh, I forgot to add the interesting part: they were out of a job for a good while, finally got a got a new one, and started looking for a place to stay cause the job’s nowhere close to where they lived.
