Just bring tea concentrate. There are several different versions of them from paste to powder to just a tea bag and then you just need water.

Cold brew is even a thing. Tea is like the easiest thing you can make especially if you want it unsweetened.

My problem is I always want lemonade and life has apparently run out of free lemons raining from the sky for me to use and I’m not bringing simple syrup anymore.

I truly don’t understand the point of dropping an entire unrelated chatbot response as a comment.

People used to buy land and build a house on it and that was the inheritance. It could then be cut into smaller parcels and new homes built for the kids if they stayed close.
And of course if you were wealthy it was businesses and trust funds which still occurs a lot these days.

The middle class was partially stripped of its wealth by each generation giving less to the next

Yeah they should be allowed to burn everything they ever touched and take it with them when they go. Or maybe we even build giant stone triangles for them and put all their stuff in there with them.

Them getting to spend all the money scraped from the rest of the world and leaving a bleaker version behind us so justified. They put in all that effort and who cares about next generations anyways.

Common phrase of course:
“Cut down all the trees you planted in life so that nobody but you can ever sit beneath it’s shade.”

My family tells me “write a book then I will read it” and I just keep thinking:
Assholes, maybe instead just listen to me when I tell my stories you want to ignore so badly.
They couldn’t even be bothered to spend thousands on me though and more than once in my life I have just been dropped off at street corners with hopes that I would disappear from their lives.

It sucks. While I may not know you, I know similar pain and know it’s never easy. I hope you find comforts in the little things around you.
