@ChrisCowenAZ @dejonpaul_@fenix_flexin Funny cause I thought this too. It's not the Smith's style, but it really sounds like "Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now" in a different pitch
OKC's season was a gigantic failure. Should've coasted to a repeat but turns out SGA is such a historic playoff choker that not even this loaded team could cover for him anymore. Chet has a vagina, Jalen Williams' hamstring is made out of wet napkins, Lu Dort is a better defensive tackle than Aaron Donald, & the second apron is approaching fast. OKC should raise a banner for Tyrese Haliburton's achilles' since it's the only reason they even have 1 ring. Sure, you'll still be contenders, but you won't be THE contenders. This is Wemby's league now. At least for OKC fans there's a lot to do in OKC like.....uh.......well.......
@Osinachi_W Putting Roddy Rich in the same convo with Drake, Kendrick, and Kanye is insane.
I get he had a tiktok hit but do y'all really think he's at their level lol
I talked about this a bit yesterday, but what we're seeing is that Supply Side Economics (trickle down) does not work when the ultra wealthy won't play ball. And the Trump administration has been GUNG HO on enshrining Supply Side Economics.
The main idea is that if you alleviate the financial burden on the ultra rich individuals and corporations, primarily by reducing their taxation, then you end up creating a massive surplus in capital at the tippy-top among those elites. With all that extra capital, they can create new jobs, new investment opportunities, increase wages, provide better benefits, you get the idea.
Part one of the plan worked. They got CONSIDERABLY more wealthy. Part 2 failed completely. They took that extra wealth and invested in 2 main things. First, they made moves to preserve their wealth by investing it in assets or borrowing against liquidity to basically avoid paying more in taxes. They lobbied and donated tons of money to individual politicians to make sure they continue to promote policies that keep them wealthy. And second, they invested in things like AI and automation which does not create new jobs but instead finds ways to make jobs unnecessary. They don't need you anymore for many of the things they used to need you for.
In summation, the wealthy got more wealthy, jobs got cut, and they made moves to make sure no one can come for their new cash.
@CurtisBashar Mike Dean been the driving force behind Kanye , the weekend, and Travis for the past decade. Kanye and Travis fell off with him and now their music trash smh
Premise of ATLA: Aang isn't ready to be Avatar but he is forced to learn early because the fate of the world is at hand.
Premise of Korra: for the most part everything is good. Korra goes and nearly loses all of her bending. Also erases the entire Avatar past lives
