My aunt paid off her house in 2011.

Threw a party. Cried happy tears. Said she finally owned something in this world.

Property taxes were $3,200 a year back then.
Today they’re $9,800.

HOA went from $180 a month to $440.

Homeowners insurance doubled after the storms in her area.

She’s 71 on a fixed income writing three checks every month on a house she already paid for.

She told me last week she’s thinking about selling.

The house she spent 30 years paying off.

The house she cried over.

Because she can’t afford to stay in something she owns.

You never really own it.

You just run out of people to pay and find new ones.

A lot of people don't know this, but Amazon is used (without their consent) as a massive money laundering funnel where government agencies buy overpriced goods sold by "vendors" via Amazon, and the vendor gives a kickback to the government decision maker who made the purchase.

That's how you end up with $20,000 printers and $15,000 blenders, etc. It's all government money laundering through Amazon.

It's not Amazon's doing, of course. They aren't pushing this. They do make a percentage, however.

"Tengo 88 años, tengo que seguir trabajando en un supermercado porque me quitaron la pensión al quebrar la empresa donde trabajé, me quitaron la cobertura médica, tuve que vender mi casa y todo lo que tenía".

El capitalismo que no te enseñan, Eddy, un abuelo estadounidense de 88 años, después de trabajar durante toda su vida, el capitalismo ni siquiera le aseguró una pensión y un seguro médico... tiene que seguir trabajando 5 días a la semana para pagar las medicinas y la comida.

Este es el presente y el futuro masivo que el sistema capitalista quiere para todos, donde los trabajadores son esclavizados hasta el último día de su vida sin tener ni siquiera una casa en su propiedad.

BOOMER: “We bought our first house at 25.”
ME: “How much was it?”
BOOMER: “$45,000.”
ME: “What were you making?”
BOOMER: “$15,000 a year.”
ME: “So 3 years of salary.”
BOOMER: “Exactly. We worked hard.”
ME: “Houses are $420,000 now.”
ME: “Average salary is $60,000.”
ME: “That’s 7 years of salary.”
BOOMER: “You kids just don’t save.”
ME: “We save. We just can’t afford to buy.”
BOOMER: “That’s because you’re lazy.”
ME: “Or the system changed and you benefited from it.”
BOOMER: “That’s not my fault.”
ME: “No. But stop blaming us for noticing.”

I’ve been seeing a common theme, Americans are having a very hard time getting a job

“I just got denied from a serving job in a restaurant with a bachelor's degree, and I've actually worked in 2 restaurants for no experience”

According to data there are about 250+ applicants for every job being posted in 2026

That’s insane

A job seeker in America will need to put in about 100-200+ applications before being hired on average… it never used to be like this

Low-income kids have to worry about how they will get an apartment, a car or a loan when their parents can't co-sign because their credit is bad from forced debt just to make ends meet. Tell me generational wealth isn't systemic

Elon Musk: I’m the first trillionaire in human history.

Palestine didn’t “fail to qualify” for the World Cup.

Israel literally killed everyone on the team.

Love living in end stage capitalism where a parking spot makes more an hour than I do as a medical professional

[‏ً @omgsidewalks]

when we say “crime is a social construct”.

what we mean is that you, as an individual, can go to jaił for littering but a corporation can poıson the air, the soil, and the water of an entire town, and no one will go to jaił.

This will probably get suppressed, but I don’t care. It’s time.

Elon Musk promised DOGE would save taxpayers $1 TRILLION. But, it actually just paved his path to become a trillionaire. Let’s follow the money.

- “Claimed savings”: Final DOGE claim was $214B saved. The independently verifiable amount was less than 5% of that, not including the actually costs.

Costs
- The firing-and-rehiring churn cost ~ $135B.
- Week one: 17 inspector generals fired who return $26 per $1 spent and catch the very things happening right now with the Trump family ventures, Elon’s ventures, AI, etc.
- They didn’t touch the $850B Pentagon budget that has never passed an audit.
- Also untouched were the $38B in government contracts flowing to Elon.
- Data privacy breaches by DOGE employees

And before you say that he worked for free, he did not have to file a financial disclosure because he "worked for free". This looks more like a workaround.

Elon donated over $290M to Trump’s campaign. The morning Trump was sworn in, Musk's companies faced $2.37B in legal exposure across 11 federal agencies.

Then he was handed power over those same agencies. Inside the first quarter, six of the regulators investigating Elon’s companies were cut, closed, or told to stand down.

So, he spent ~$290M to elect Trump and he left office with his cases dead and SpaceX ~$6B RICHER in NEW defense contracts.
That is not a Department of Government Efficiency.

And as someone who was on the inside when this all went down, the strategy behind finding these contracts was incredibly inefficient and just caused defense contractors, such as Booz Allen Hamilton, to merely change their name from consulting to technology. It merely caused word changes in contracts. Contracts that are bloated and should be cut, weren’t even looked at. And in the end, it cost tax payers exponentially more than it saved, including data privacy,

Just want to call out the reality of how Space X and this shady IPO even came about.

You actually reduce crime by eliminating poverty. You reduce crime with universal healthcare, public housing, livable wages, and free college. You reduce violence by creating happy, healthy communities that aren’t constantly fighting over basic needs and material resources.

Donald Trump had over 3,700 stock transactions since the war in Iran started, and he profited over 220 million dollars. Don't tell me how he "donates his presidential salary" ever again you stupid fucking MAGAs

[Teddy - PolyBackTest.com @Bitcoin_Teddy]

Corporation: "We made $4B but spent $3.9B so we only owe taxes on $100M."
Government: "Totally reasonable."

You: "I made $60K but spent $58K on survival."
Government: "You owe taxes on $60K."
You: "That's not—"
Government: "File by May 15."

One of the most brutal scenes in human history has been leaked.

Footage from an Israeli aircraft shows thousands of starving Palestinians running towards an aid truck, before it bombs and kills them all.

A video that the world must never forget.

"Slaves owned by the pharaoh of Egypt were required to pay him 20% of their income."

"Fast forward to 2025. The average U.S. taxpayer pays 24.8% tax."

"On top of this, you pay sales tax, property tax, gas tax, and many other taxes."

"The slaves in Egypt were doing better than we're being taxed."

"Wake up, America. You're being robbed, you're being cheated, and you're being lied to."
