something i’ve realized watching all of this play out
a sandwich that jumps from $8 to $14 never goes back to $8. rent that climbs from $1,400 to $2,200 stays at $2,200 forever.
gas, groceries, insurance, all of it. prices only move in one direction
inflation becomes permanent the moment everyone accepts the new number.
and we always accept it because we have no other choice
then workers ask for raises just to survive the prices they had nothing to do with creating.
and suddenly they’re the problem. they’re “hurting the economy” by wanting to afford food
the economy for who exactly.
because whoever it’s working for it sure as hell isn’t us

The older I get, the harder it is to see 18-19 year olds as adults. Those are just babies. Like their life is literally just starting. They don’t know ANYTHING.
We really lived long enough to see @KingJames become the old man version of himself in this iconic 20-year-old @Nike ad campaign.
And somehow he's STILL playing basketball at an insanely high level. 🐐
Killing your momentum, installing a loser mentality into your squad, and spitting in the face of your thousands of fans that traveled at the same time 👌
Some people spent so much of their lives trying to survive that they never got the chance to learn how to swim, speak a foreign language, play an instrument, travel, or simply explore life beyond work and responsibilities. That’s a side of poverty we rarely talk about.
