I'm slowly, and steadily losing hope actually. I'm of the cynical mind as of now that we should just let it burn. F*ck it. Once they said that realtors could no longer refer to it as the "master" bedroom among other things, I think this train has officially jumped the tracks, and we're just waiting for the big crash and burn.
If we do survive all this shit, I'm saving my Colgate tube that says "whitening" on it when it's empty. May be worth money some day, or I'll just preserve it for future generations so they can see what life was like before we all went insane.
