  • I used to work retail where if I showed up on time, I was late and had customers waiting outside the store.

    Then I finally got a desk job and showed up 5 minutes early the first day and had to wait for 15 minutes outside. I then quickly realized most people don’t show up till 8:20-8:45. So that’s my start time now.







  • Those are songs, not actions. Many of us had much larger plans and were sold a life that we never had the opportunity to have.

    Most of us got trapped in low wage jobs or not getting a job at all after college. All of us had to go through several recessions, inflation skyrocketing, politicians bought by the wealthy so you can’t run for office unless you are well connected, housing market crashed, etc.

    Getting into politics to change all of the issues we saw was never an option. There is always a wealthier, better connected opponent to win.

    Trickle down economics was a lie and most of us got cheated out of life and never got to amass the wealth needed to actually MAKE CHANGE HAPPEN. We spend all our time working, keeping our little relationships alive, and trying to make it day to day.
