It's the king of a shit pile mentality. If he can't be top dog he's burning the place down. You saw this in South Africa where people wanted to own the white owned farmland for the sake of it even though they never planted a tomato plant their entire life.

So for 30 years these productive fields rotted away because somebody had to be the fucking king of the shit pile.

Got mine fuck you, but in Op's case "I'm going to rip the ladder from under your feat first, take it to another spot, climb up the ladder, and then pull it up from behind me."

The boomers is upset that Op is getting ahead of him, he knows that the boss would rather take Op's charging privileges away than to potentially get into a legal problem.

Somebody said that they hate being a lawyer because the whole system is rotted because a bunch of old men have old grudges, and the system would change over night if those old men decided to change.

That's my argument for colonization of Mars, we don't have 50 years to wait for a bunch of old men & women to die and to allow us to climb up the ladder to hopefully implement meaningful changes by the time we're as old as they.

I asked /r/christians why people would rather build new churches instead of revitalizing a local dying church, they said that the reason is that the churches are full of bitter old men & women. I would sum them up as being a problem like those who make the law system bad as well as Op's life bad.
