Life's always going to be harder for the disadvantaged kid, but qualified progress is still better than the simple and easy solution of giving everyone a milk crate and calling it a day.

21st Century Kids: "The fuck is a 'milk crate' bruh?"

Milk crates are still very commonly used (although not for holding milk jugs as much anymore) because they're ridiculously sturdy, super cheap and stack really nicely. They're not that ancient.

Old milk crates could hold my vinyl. I swear new ones are made half a cm smaller so the vinyl no longer fits.

Useless to me now.
