No MSG watch party outside the Garden during the biggest game of the year because a selfish weirdo chooses to want to make himself the center of attention during a moment where the vibes have been immaculate . Y’all president is really a weirdo.
Mike Johnson thinks $174,000 isn’t enough to survive without insider trading, but $15/hour is too much for everyone else.
Every single fucking day these people prove how disconnected they are from normal Americans.
Someone said “Baby Boomers did that thing where you leave a single square of toilet paper on the roll and pretend it’s not your turn to change it, but with a whole society” and now I can’t stop thinking about it.
Just got off a call with a childhood friend
His wife has cancer, it took 5 months to wipe out 20 years of his life savings and that was with insurance.
He said the experience has turned him into a hateful, bitter person. They did everything they were told.
They went to college, got degrees, avoided credit card debt, spent wisely, saved a nice chunk of money in savings accounts and retirement accounts and minded their own business.
The USA healthcare system took all of their savings and retirement and forced them to refinance their house so that they lost 15 years of equity.
Is this a country we are supposed to be proud of? I hate this system and anyone that defends it.
Reporter: Was Malcolm X preaching hate and violence?
Denzel Washington: Is the sheep preaching hate and violence when he says I'm not going to let a wolf eat me anymore?
My dad retired at 61.
Union pension.
House paid off years ago.
Medicare coming soon.
Social Security locked in.
At dinner he told me people my age just need to “budget better.”
I make $74k a year.
My rent is $2,050.
I’ve got maybe $3,500 saved after bills.
I just nodded and passed the potatoes.
But what I wanted to say was:
Your retirement existed because companies still offered pensions.
Your Social Security works because my generation keeps paying into it.
Your home doubled in value while mine feels permanently out of reach.
You didn’t crack some secret code.
You were born into an economy that hadn’t pulled the ladder up yet.
