The New York Knicks have officially won their first NBA Championship in 53 years, defeating the San Antonio Spurs.
It is the Knicks’ first NBA title since 1973.
if you spent $1 million every day since the birth of Jesus Christ, it wouldn't even add up to a trillion and yet somehow one person holds this much wealth while millions are in poverty i'm sick
Run the math on the lunch and it falls apart in about ten seconds.
A $28 lunch every working day is roughly $7,000 a year. That is the entire prize for never eating out again.
Now look at what actually moved. The median US home went from $321,500 in 2019 to about $420,300 in 2024. That is nearly $99,000 in five years, close to $20,000 a year. A Gen Z worker who banks every single lunch saves $7,000 while the house they are chasing gets $20,000 more expensive in the same twelve months.
You can do everything Kevin says and still lose ground.
Zoom out and it gets worse. Since 1980 home prices are up 551% and incomes are up 373%. The price-to-income ratio went from 3.65 to over 5. The distance between what a salary buys and what a house costs is the whole story, and no amount of skipped sandwiches closes a gap that compounds faster than anyone can save.
The lunch was never the variable.
The math gets funnier when you check who is giving the lecture. Kevin took just under $15 million to be the face of FTX, put around $9.7 million of it into crypto that went to zero, and held a $1 million stake that also went to zero. The man telling 23-year-olds that lunch is why they stay poor lit more money on fire in one bad bet than most of them will earn in a lifetime.
A $28 plate of ham and cheese was not the problem.
For being a “progressive” state, CA sure does always end up hyping up the most corporate bought establishment hacks.
Please don’t vote for Becerra people
I think people are not telling us the full truth. Be careful. I was about 1 mile from GKN, outside the evacuation zone last night, and I’m currently having symptoms like nausea, itchy eyes, and headaches. These are the same symptoms I had Thursday night when I saw people running out of GKN as I drove by and had to stop because of the fire trucks. So the tank may have already been leaking
You reduce crime by eliminating poverty. The reason so called nice neighborhoods have lower crime rates is because people’s basic needs are being met. It is not because of police, alarm systems, or neighborhood associations. Poverty creates crime.
If you're only going to do video updates every 8-12 hours, someone needs to be handling written updates on X every hour-two hours, tops.
I have the greatest respect for the dangerous job you're doing, and I sincerely hope for the safety of every one of your team, but your public information office/officer is seriously failing his or her job.
