La forma americana de entender la salud es un TERRORISMO FINANCIERO disfrazado de medicina

🇪🇺 En Europa:

- Vas al médico y te hacen todas las pruebas.
- Sales de urgencias con 0 euros en la factura.
- El médico busca curarte, no lucrarse.
- Sanidad como derecho, no como negocio.

Fin.

La forma estadounidense de COMER Y ALIMENTARSE es un atentado contra la salud pública

🇪🇺 En Europa:

- Vas al mercado de barrio a por producto fresco.
- Eliges tomates que huelen a tomate.
- Compras pan artesano que se pone duro al día siguiente.
- Aliñas con aceite de oliva virgen extra.
- Comes sentado, con cuchillo y tenedor.
- Disfrutas de la comida.

Listo.

@ZeusRebirth the inflation is real

[Leo @Leonajardinho]

MRBEAST GAVE RANDOM PEOPLE 60 SECONDS TO SPEND $1,000,000?! Here is how much they actually managed to grab before the timer ran out.

MrBeast: "Whatever you put in this cart in 60 seconds, I will pay for up to $1 million. Starting now."

Contestant: "I can live with 60 grand, I can live with that."

MrBeast: "The total of everything here is $30,000. And if you include the tractor out front, it is over 80 grand is what you managed to spend!"

Jordan (School Teacher): "We have so many bills that need to be paid... You're gonna make me cry."

MrBeast: "In these carts is over $10,000 worth of stuff for her students. And Jordan, here is $10,000 in cash."

If you were given 60 seconds to clear out an entire store on MrBeast's dime, are you sprinting straight for high-value electronics to flip for rent money, or grabbing everyday essentials to clear out your household bills?

FORGET CPI. I HAVE A BETTER INFLATION MEASUREMENT: TACO BELL.

In 2001, a chicken quesadilla was about $1.89.

Today? Around $6.19.

That’s more than 3x the price for the exact same fast-food craving.

You can argue about economic formulas, weighting, baskets and methodology all day.

I’m just looking at the menu.

Because when something that used to cost $1.89 now costs over six bucks, telling me inflation is “only 2–3%” every year starts feeling a little detached from reality.

The quesadilla has entered the chat.

[Leo @Leonajardinho]

There is a reason your apartment rent jumps 12% every year even when half the complex sits vacant.

It isn't organic market demand. It's dynamic pricing software like RealPage.
Landlords used to compete. If vacancies went up, they lowered rent to attract tenants.

Now, corporate landlords upload their private lease data into a single centralized algorithm. The software tells all of them to collectively jack up prices and hold units empty rather than compete.

They turned basic housing into an algorithmic pricing cartel.

MY GRANDMOTHER PAID OFF HER HOUSE 35 YEARS AGO. SHE STILL WORRIES ABOUT LOSING IT.

She bought it in 1976 and made her final mortgage payment in 1993.

For most of her life, she believed that was the finish line.

Then her property taxes kept climbing.

What was once roughly $700 a year is now around $24,000.

She’s 78. Living on a fixed income. And she’s genuinely worried that the home she has owned outright for decades could eventually become unaffordable to keep.

That’s what gets lost when people say:

“Your mortgage is paid off. You own the house.”

The mortgage ends.

The property taxes don’t.
The insurance doesn’t.
The repairs don’t.
The maintenance doesn’t.

You can own a house free and clear and still have a permanent bill attached to it.

CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN THIS TO ME BECAUSE I THINK I’M LOSING MY MIND

Sat down this weekend and actually pulled every bill I have into one spreadsheet for the first time in my life.

Rent: $1,850. Car payment: $420. Car insurance: $180. Health insurance: $460. Student loans: $310. Groceries averaging: $380. Phone and utilities combined: $210.

That’s $3,810 gone every single month before I’ve spent a dollar on anything that isn’t survival.

I make $61,000 a year. After taxes that’s about $4,150 a month.

$340 left. For gas. For emergencies. For literally anything unexpected, and something is always unexpected.

I checked this three times because I genuinely thought I did the math wrong.

I didn’t.

I’m not bad with money. I don’t have a lifestyle problem. I haven’t bought anything frivolous in months.

There’s just nothing left after the bills that were already there before I even started counting.

Your writing needs to leave an impact.

Otherwise it’s useless.

Focus on:

•Strong hook
•Valuable body
•Solution
•CTA
(In that order)

The secret is curiosity. You’re welcome.

Boomer: back in my day, you saved up and bought a house by 25. Simple as that.

You: I’ve been saving for four years.

Boomer: then you’re not saving hard enough.

You: I put away $500 a month. Every month, no exceptions.

Boomer: that adds up though.

You: after four years that’s $24,000.
Boomer: so you’re close then.

You: the down payment here is $70,000.

Boomer: …

Boomer: what did houses cost when I bought mine.

You: what year was that.

Boomer: 1985.

You: what did you pay.

Boomer: $52,000.

You: what were you making then.

Boomer: $24,000 a year.

You: so your house cost about two times your salary. Mine costs almost nine times mine.

Boomer: …

Boomer: that can’t be right.

You: it is. I checked.

Boomer: …

Boomer: I always figured you just weren’t trying hard enough.

[Kail @0xKail3]

I did the math on my own paycheck and it made me want to scream.

Get paid $5,400.

Pay $2,300 in rent.
$600 for groceries.
$500 for the car, insurance and gas.
$400 for health care.
$300 for utilities and internet.

That’s $4,100 gone before I’ve spent a single dollar on my own actual life.

Then I’m supposed to save. Invest. Build a future on whatever’s left. There’s nothing left.

And somewhere along the way, someone who bought a house for $95,000 in 1993 is going to lecture me about avocado toast.

It was never the coffee. It was never Netflix. The math was never built for us to win. It was built for us to just barely survive and call it living.

[Kail @0xKail3]

US politicians will tell you:

“Lobbying is part of democracy.”

Okay.

Then explain why corporations can spend millions influencing legislation while the average voter struggles to get a representative to answer an email.

Both technically have a voice.

One just happens to have a much louder wallet.

Should there be a hard spending limit?

[skumm🧊 @skumWgmi]

Gen Z doesn't want to come into the office.

CORRECT. No one wants to commute 90 minutes round trip, pay $19 to park, buy a lunch they can't expense, sit under fluorescent lights for 9 hours performing productivity, then be told the problem with young people is they don't understand sacrifice.

Keep going. You're almost at the real sentence.

Life Hack

1. Install Telegram
2. Create a private channel or group.
3. Remove everyone so it’s just you.
4. Upload files, notes, videos - anything you want to keep.
5. Anytime you lose your phone or switch devices, just log in and download everything again.

That’s basically your own unlimited cloud storage.

A couple bought 600 acres in the Texas Hill Country that experts called unsalvageable and brought bison back to it.

Katie Forrest and Taylor Collins purchased the land outside Fredericksburg, Texas as first generation ranchers.

What they found on it would have scared most people away.

My son has been telling everyone we're getting a dog.

We are not getting a dog.

I don't know where this started. There was no conversation, no promise, no hint of a possibility. One day there was no dog narrative and the next day there was a fully developed one with details I had not approved.

He told his teacher we were getting a dog called Rocky. He told my mother, who immediately said that's wonderful and asked what breed. He told the man at the corner shop who said congratulations like it was an announcement of real significance.

I found out from my mother who called to ask when Rocky was arriving.

I said "There is no Rocky."

She said "He seemed very sure."

I said "He's four. He's sure about a lot of things that aren't true."

She said "He said you'd say that."

I said "He said I'd say what."

She said "That there was no dog. He said you didn't know yet."

I sat with that for a moment.

Apparently in his version of events the dog is happening and I simply haven't been informed.

I sat him down that evening. Said we needed to talk about Rocky.

He said "You know about Rocky?"

I said "There is no Rocky."

He said "Not yet."

I said "Not ever."

He looked at me the way he looks at me when he thinks I'm being unreasonable.

Said "But I told everyone."

I said "I know. That's why we're talking."

He said "They're all excited."

I said "I know."

He said "The man in the shop said congratulations."

I said "I know."

He said "You can't cancel Rocky now. People are excited."

I said "We never had Rocky."

My boomer uncle asked me last Sunday why I still drive a 12-year-old car.

I told him a decent new one is around $38,000.

He said, “So finance it.”

I said the payment would be close to $700 a month.

He frowned.

“Seven hundred? For a car?”

I said, “That’s before insurance, gas, maintenance, and everything else.”
