    They lived through the Depression when they couldn’t afford a new couch, so they learned to protect the one they had

      Can confirm. My grandma had a sealed couch that would protect it from stains and the like. Scum like Vance would slide right off.

      That doesn’t make sense - how else do you get little couches if the momma couch can’t be fucked?

      But yes, you are correct about that, but I try to PSA that its not the great financial & economical depression that caused such behaviour - that behaviour is the default, the normal, what humans always did.

      Its only the extreme profit driven consumerism that followed that that indoctrinated us into the ‘buy new completely discard the old, dont think about it, it was always like this, since the dawn of time’ … a price generations are now beginning to pay.
