My relative, who works for one of the biggest oil companies in the world, declares whenever it comes up that solar is a scam. I despise my own family

My dad hates solar and throws literally fits when he see panels on someone's house. Doesn't effect him at all. He lives in Texas so I wouldn't be surprised if he made the complaints.

Thought it was a free country, these people would fit in with the Gestapo very well.

Is that a battery you are hiding under the floorboards?

I remember when people in Texas prided themselves on minding their own goddamn business

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I remember when that was the normal not only Texas but everywhere. When I was kid it was normal to wave at passing cars, and your neighbors. Now everyone hates everyone else.

And can't let people do what they want for themselves or their homes. Hell it doesn't even effect them.

A lot of the people in my neighborhood are actually pretty friendly, in an idealized-small-town sort of way. But I live in one of those "scary" "inner-city" neighborhoods with The Blacks™ and The Gays™ and whatnot, so it's a little different for me.

Meanwhile, my Boomer parents, who live out in the suburbs, complain that their subdivision has gone completely to Hell. Funny, that.

Do you? Or do you remember when they falsely claimed to mind their own goddamn business?

Do you have tips for how to handle a relative who’s engaged with a pretty directly evil company/business practice?

See if you can invest? Evil is doing very well these days.
