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.
“No one is forcing you to work at that job you hate.”
Rent is due, health insurance is tied to employment, groceries aren’t free. Utilities will get cut off, student loans don’t pause, and homelessness is one bad month away. Yeah, yeah. Totally voluntary.

My mom paid off her house in 2003.
Thought that was it. Thought she was done. Thought it was finally hers.
Property taxes were $1,800 a year back then.
She’s retired now. Fixed income. Same house. Same neighborhood.
Property taxes are $24,000 a year.
That’s $2,000 a month.
On a house she already paid for.
She’s 71 years old and the government sends her a bill every year just to stay in her own home.
You never really own anything in America.
You just make payments to a different landlord.
Black Americans have been getting screwed by this white supremacist system since its inception. The wheat is now being separated from the chaffe. We know how to navigate the hell that's coming. White social welfare recipients are in trouble.
