I feel like a large majority of the hate towards grampa Joe is just hating the poor for being poor. The man is 80, he retired when his job shut down 20 years prior (when he was 60). Why would you expect an 80 year old man to be actively working? He’s 80! Let him be retired!

The bad guy isn’t the old man who retired cuz he got laid off, it’s the billionaire chocolate mogal who replaced his workforce with slave labor causing thousands to go without a job.

Hey, it’s not all bad. Charlie’s dad got to work as Toothbrush Machine inspector (whilst the rest of the entire toothbrush workforce were laid off)

He could sing and dance and jump out of bed when he won a free trip but he laid in bed and made his grandson take care of him before that. Joe was a dick.

I feel like a large majority of the hate towards grampa Joe is just jokes.

From my memory, he started out using the illegal immigrants. He didn’t replace normal workers, although you can argue those jobs would have gone to the “right” workers.

:p
