    My grandparents had children in their early 20s and were small business owners. Not a lot to copy for me there even if I wanted to.

    My great-grandparents were adults in Nazi Germany. IDK if they were old enough to vote when the Nazis came into power, though.

      I have a grandparent who spent their childhood hiding from Nazis, then were pushed to emigrate to the US as adults to escape the postwar lingering fascism 🫠

      Another drilled into my head how important vaccines, hygiene, and believing in science are, which I’m grateful for. Like I got a propaganda vaccine, at least for medicine lol
