I gave my 10-year-old son a watch for his First Communion, and it was a total home run. It’s a solid gift—something classy that actually lasts and gets used. He got a bunch of gold crosses and jewelry, but let's be honest, kids don't really wear that stuff. He put the watch right on his wrist immediately because he thought it looked cool and "manly."😍
He could have easily swapped it out (but he didn't), and you can just switch the band whenever you want. Plus, the price was reasonable and it came with a warranty. We picked it up at a shop in a local mall for a pretty good deal.

Those apartments were granted for use, not transferred as property.
And more often than not, they were handed out to the well-connected.

The well-connected, most of the time.🙄
Honestly, this kind of nonsense is exhausting...
Pretty much 90% of people were "well-connected" because that was just how everyone lived back then.
I guess you can tell that to someone who didn't live that "privileged" life.
And regarding the guy asking about his apartment—forget it, man. A new set of insiders moved in, and even the courts can't touch them, even though they basically bullied their way into those perks.
You could win a court case—not just one, either—and still not get your place back. That’s the legal system for you; you aren't part of the right crowd.
