Being an American now is just waking up and being told how much more money the president and his billionaire buddies are stealing, then being expected to act like it’s a normal fucking day.
I told my daughter she had to pay $400 a month to live at home after college. She thought I was being hard on her. Paid it every month without complaint. Never missed once.
Two years later she moved out. I handed her an envelope. $9,600. Every dollar she ever paid me. Plus a little extra.
She cried. I told her that was her security deposit, first month, and emergency fund.
She thought I was punishing her. I was preparing her.
She’s a very happy young woman.
