If you haven't read The Grapes of Wrath, you really should. It goes hard, and it's obscenely relevant despite being like 80 years old.

The Grapes of Wrath, one of the few things older than Genocide Joe

You just made me wonder if I owned anything that was older than Biden.

I struggled to think of anything for a hot minute, but remembered my great grandmother passing me down her antique mirror.

Problem is that I don't know when she got it and I think she was born some time in the 1920s, so I think it's likely I don't have anything older than our fucking corpse emperor.

Edit: technically I have some quartz geodes but they got set up for display a few decades ago.

The movie made only a couple years after the book was written is solid as well. I work with food and it's a book I literally think about every day.

Throwing away 200-300 dollars of inventory while my managers and some coworkers are giddy talking about the thief that got arrested by cops while stealing expensive food doomer
