Ngl it’s exhausting hearing athletes break down how their millions “aren’t really millions” after taxes and fees. 40M after taxes is still 40M.
The real issue isn’t the system, it’s lifestyle creep. Nobody told you to live like a king, buy 5 cars, or move with a 10‑person entourage. Modest is allowed.
If this surveillance becomes more prevalent, I’m going to lean back into dumb phones, wired headphones, navigating by either a downloaded or paper maps, and anything else that makes me even slightly less tracked.
I hate this mess.

I cut off my twin sister at 29 after catching her kiss my fiancé. Ten years of hate later, she died in a car crash. I didn't even want to go to her funeral, mom begged me to do it.
After the ceremony, I went to her old room.
In her things, I found a paper folder with my name. I opened it, and my heart stopped.
Inside were handwritten letters. Dozens of them. All addressed to me.
Each was dated, spanning across years. The first was written just a week after I walked out of her life. I sat down on the edge of her childhood bed, the same bed we used to share when we were five and afraid of thunder. My hands trembled as l opened the first letter.
