    Baby milk controversy

    I have some women coworkers and a couple of years ago they were sitting in the break room lamenting how hard it was to find formula. I naively asked them why they didn’t breastfeed and they looked at me like I’d grown an extra head. It’s absolutely astonishing that after 200 million years of successful breastfeeding (which even gives us our “mammal” name), a corporation was able to convince women that no, they should be feeding their babies with shit from a can made in factory.

    I don’t even know if I want to rent to someone, that’s a whole other set of headaches.

    I live with my elderly parents, taking care of them until they move into a nursing home or worse (although I’m not sure death is actually worse than a nursing home). In the meantime, I bought myself a small house nearby that I’m renovating and I plan to move there after I close out my parents’ house. I’m genuinely terrified of renting it out after having put so much time and effort into it. A lot of people rent in this neighborhood and I’ve seen firsthand what some tenants do to places.

    But if I do rent it out, I’m a shitty scumlord? I’m a better person if I don’t rent it?
