    13 years ago, rent for my 3 bed 2 bath apartment at the time was ~$700/mo. Today that same apartment is over $1500/mo.

    Goddammit, how times have changed. Nowadays I would be thrilled to see the rent prices that we complained about during the rules this meme was popular.

    That’s not meant to be a justification, just a statement about how much worse things have gone.

    I helped that guy with his website once. It was in like 2011/2012 and I was doing tech support and I’m not even sure the meme existed yet, but then I started seeing it everywhere. I certainly agreed with his main point immediately lol.
