Looked at the value of two childhood homes when last sold to my family compared to now. The inflation on them is actual insanity.

The home I was born into: Bought for 29,000 British Pounds in 2000, paid outright, currently valued at 403,000 British Pounds, a rate of roughly 17,000 Pounds increase in value per year for 22 years, through a global housing crisis in the middle. The home I grew up in: Bought for 1,300 British Pounds in 1958, paid over a five year mortgage. Currently valued at 805,000 British pounds, a rough increase in value of 12,500 British pounds a year for 64 years. Really hammered it home than on the pity wages people have to survive off, we can never own property unless we inherit it, and then we'd have to deal with inheritance tax. My family still owns both of these homes, though I live in the US now rather than the UK. Shelter is a human right, this insanity needs to change.

I’m going back to work next week after two months of burn out recovery and kind of freaking out.

Way back during the Toilet Paper Wars my job deemed me as “essential” for the hotel I worked at. I spent nearly the whole apocalypse doing 12 hour days 6 days a week. It got to the point where I was living there, 12 hours on shift, 12 hours crashed out in a room, 12 hours back on, etc. That was until a few days after Christmas. My boss in all his infinite generosity gave me two days off IN A ROW! Can you believe it? How awesome is that? It was during those two days I realized I was ready to end my life. I just couldn't do it anymore. So instead I sold nearly all my stuff, moved out of my shit box apartment, and back into my old bedroom at my parents house. Now let me take this moment to tell you I couldn't have survived this…

I’m quitting my job of about 2 weeks. The Tim Hortons I work for doesn’t allow us to refuse service to those not wearing masks, nor allows us to provide masks for guests. The convoy is currently in my city, and I’m not about to expose to those in my life to unnecessary risk. How’s my letter?
