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. 🐐
Do you remember when radio stations used to give away concert tickets and backstage passes? I just heard a midday radio giveaway, and now the prizes are groceries, a year of gas, or rent paid. It’s a strange reminder that survival has become the prize. That’s pretty sad.
The U.S. economy basically works like this:
Get paid $5,200.
Pay $2,200 in rent.
$650 for groceries.
$550 for your car payment, insurance, and gas.
$450 for health insurance and medical bills.
$350 for utilities and internet.
Stretch whatever’s left until the next paycheck.
Then get a lecture from someone who bought their house for $95,000 in the early ’90s about how skipping lattes and Netflix is the key to building wealth.
Workdays SHOULD be 10am-3pm or 9am-2pm. There's no reason for people to spend most of their lives at work.
Let people go home and have time for their families, partners, friends, and rest. That's why everyone is so miserable today.
I’m 45 and I’m telling y’all these kids have it so much worse than I did. I bought a 3 bedroom house at 22 for $124k and I had dollar menus and 89 cent Circle K gasoline.
I really don’t understand the deep desire many of you have to deny our current reality.
Cardi B said she doesn’t cook. She doesn’t clean but she’ll tell young black women how she got her ring.
Few years later. She doesn’t have any ring & is a baby mama of 4 kids. 2 different absent dads.
Megan Thee Stallion brags about how she puts men on rotation & how you don’t need a man in her songs but is crashing out after being cheated on.
These are the women young black girls look up to. 💔💔
