Imagine being forced to give someone 6.2% of your paycheck, every single check, every month, for 30 to 50 years of your life.
And that person said, "Don't worry, I'm holding this for you and will pay it back to you on a monthly basis, when you retire at 65."
And then they said, "Nah, just kidding. I meant when you retire at 67. And at that time, I'll only give you 70% of what you paid me."
And then they said, "Oops, I spent all your money. You're out of luck."
That's the U.S. government.
Americans realizing they spent $75 billion fighting Iran, then another $300 billion rebuilding Iran, just to reopen the Strait of Hormuz that was already open before the war started
So, Trump is gonna give Iran $300 billion to open a strait that wasn’t closed, so long as they promise not build a nuke they didn’t have?
Do I have that just about right?
It’s absolutely wild that you can be photographed on Epstein Island, evade hearings about your ties to a convicted child predator, and still show your face at an NBA finals game because you're rich and connected.
If that isn’t a broken system, what is?
Our seniors are struggling in America, there is an affordability crisis in America
This is Miss Ruby and she’s still forced to work as this age and physical state
But she’s not the only one, there is a horrifying growing trend for seniors in America
- A record 12.5 million senior households, more than 1 in 3 seniors, are “house poor,” spending over 30% of their income on housing
- 45% of Senior Households Can’t Cover Basics
- 80% Are Financially Vulnerable
- Nearly 12 million Americans aged 65+ are still working, the highest rate in decades
- Nearly 14 million seniors face food insecurity
- 58% of older renters are cost-burdened, spending over 30% of income on rent
Here’s the worst part. Low-income seniors die an average of 9 years earlier than high-income seniors
This can’t continue in America. We are going in the wrong direction
We’re on the verge of total economic collapse and every single post from Trump on Truth social is about foreign countries, the ballroom, his own physical exam, the reflecting pool, or trying to discredit the New York Times.
There is nothing MAGA about Trump 2.0
@Sudharsan_ak Sides just learned to get out of the way for the most part. Guide. Let the players mesh. Then FO decides to blow up the team every year. Bad pickups. No team chemistry. Terrible coach. Etc
Pope Leo XIV on AI:
“Artificial intelligence needs to be disarmed. The word [disarmed] is strong I know, but deliberately chosen because this moment needs words capable of attracting attention, awakening consciences, and indicating paths forward for humanity.”
@DayDreamThis Caitlin and Steph white get along on a personal level(it seems.) but Steph white only wants her system and Caitlin knows she isn’t the right coach.
@RealMrJuco@Moneymikes7 Yes you teach. You guide. That doesn’t mean there will never be disagreements. But a generational player you build the team around them. You don’t try and change the generational player to fit a scheme just because that’s your “coaching style.”
The absolute hell on Earth these sociopaths have created. This planet is breathtakingly beautiful and abundant. We could be living in paradise together. But instead, they created capitalism, war, political parties, centuries of colonization, and destruction to serve the few.
