@stoolpresidente that no call could likely have affected the outcome, lose by 2 and star player is out, while Alyssa continues to play. Fever should sue WNBA and ref union
@PatMcAfeeShow We chased after the rabbit to draft a QB. There years later, and every year, Stroud makes it, we don't. Draft away future 1sts for 2 week fixes, Ballard doesn't know how to build a team. Falco, Clifford Franklin and Jimmy McGlinty have a better chance at winning.
After taking a look around, here’s what I can come up with
The American economy can be explained by these 4 groups of people:
The rich (growing) - Wealth so deep it detached from reality. Inflation, prices, interest rates it’s all noise. There’s no number they could spend that would materially change their life. You only need maybe $10–20M to hit this tier. Past that, nothing matters. You’re fully insulated.
The asset class (shrinking) - Mostly boomers. They don’t/didn’t earn much, but they own things homes, retirement accounts, maybe a second property. Price hikes hurt, but they’ve got enough capital to buffer it. Life adjusts but doesn’t break.
The working poor class (you & shrinking) - Basically everyone else. You rent your lifestyle with your income. You make money, but you’re always floating near zero. You can have a car, apartment (maybe), go out now and then but you’re never buying freedom. You’re just renting comfort. Every price hike and change simply adds to misery but end result still same… Zero.
The broke but untouchable (growing) - It’s weirdly similar to being rich. You’re fully subsidized. Housing, food, debt all handled through a web of programs, forgiveness, or sheer legal fog. You might not live well, but you’re not accountable. Evictions get bought out. Bankruptcies get reset. You exist outside the system’s punishments.
That’s the American system.
You’re either untouchable because you’re rich or untouchable because you’re broke. If you’re OK with it, it’s because You’re buffered by what you bought in the past.
Everyone else is grinding just to keep the lights on.
