My dad retired at 59
I will not
He had a pension. I have a 401k I can barely fund.
He bought his house at 28.
I can't touch a down payment at 30.
He paid $90 a month for health insurance. I pay $430.
At dinner he told me I need to be smarter with money.
I nodded.
Didn't tell him his entire life was built on an economy that no longer exists.
Didn't tell him my generation is paying for his Social Security while ours gets gutted.
Didn't tell him the ladder he climbed got pulled up right after him.
Just passed the potatoes.
Make it make sense
As an American citizen it is intensely offensive to me that we would spend this kind of money on Greenland when we don’t have universal healthcare, mandatory maternity leave, good public schools or any sort of social services.
On video: Congress admits they’ve got $800 MILLION set aside for ICE bonuses up to $44,000.
Meanwhile, the “average American bonus” is $2,500… if you’re lucky enough to even get one.
So let me get this straight:
They can’t fund healthcare, housing, or disaster relief…
…but they can cut cash incentives for an agency that’s detaining people first and checking facts later.
That’s the priority.
This video never gets old. The PASSION. A powerful conversation.
"Has Nigeria spilled blood or dropped an atomic bomb in Nagasaki or Hiroshima? You should be quiet when it comes to Moral condemnation. America should be quiet".
He had to apologize at the end for speaking the truth too raw and bluntly.
