“The bourgeoisie are a social class of business owners, merchants and wealthy people, in general, which emerged in the Late Middle Ages, originally as a “middle class” between the peasantry and aristocracy. They are traditionally contrasted with the proletariat by their wealth, political power, and education, as well as their access to and control of cultural, social, and financial capital.” - from Wikipedia

This is not the Musks, Thiels and Trumps of the world. This is better off, educated people, including the so-called liberal elites, including business owners and traders, including some pretty rich people… but universes apart from the obscene and unimaginable wealth of the real enemy.

It suits these people very well that most people cannot really fathom the difference between owning one million and one billion and one trillion dollars.

What is the difference between a millionaire, a billionaire and a trillionaire?

The bourgeois are not the enemy – it’s the hyper capitalists that set the working classes against the middle classes while draining all value and wealth out of society.

I’m sorry. That really sucks. I hope you can move out soon and to a place that you can keep clean and safe.

I know your question was about germs and you got plenty of feedback already. For what it’s worth I agree with the tenor that you are right to be bothered.

However, am far more concerned by the water leak. It looks like you have hoisted wooden ceilings. You need to get the leak fixed ASAP and have someone check the joists are still ok. Water damage like this can rot the wood and a full bathtub can be heavy enough to break through the ceiling. This almost happened in my parents house.
