What's most annoying is that his arrogance is his biggest legacy. The man has been repeating the same inane bullshit for decades now with no variation (eg, people are poor because they don't save money). He doesn't know how the economy works. He doesn't know how jobs work. He's politically-opinionated, but doesn't know how our government works on any level. Say what you will about millennials, but his levels of ignorance would be unacceptable for a generation with access to the internet. He has no college education, and yet his teenage grandchildren have a better grasp on how the world works, and are at least modest about their ignorance.

He's lived comfortably in the suburbs his whole life, and he has NO IDEA what the cost of living is living is like for ordinary people -- and he doesn't care. They're "lazy". He doesn't grasp that 30 is the new 20. He hasn't had to make any serious purchases in like 30 years. Today he reminded me that he bought his first house when he was 26, and he expects that this is supposed to mean something to me. Then he seriously recommended that if I wanted a "secure future" I should buy a second property and rent it out.
