Cousin Liz rang this morning, mainly to push her various agenda items onto me. She was ranting about the evils of high-rise developments and the big banks, both of which I know her superannuation fund invests in on her behalf, as she likes to brag about what a great return her super gives her. Then she started going on about how terrible it is that Bunnings is pushing all the small local hardware stores out of business. I said I thought she shopped at Bunnings all the time and she said, well, yes, she does, but only because they’re cheaper and carry a good range.
She genuinely thinks she’s the most ethical person going around. She had a final rant about how lots of Italians are spoiling her suburb by moving into it, before wishing me a cheery goodbye.
Thanks for asking how I was, hypocritical racist cousin.
