You ever notice how people act like being broke is a personality trait? Like if you’re struggling, it must be because you’re not trying hard enough? Yeah… that didn’t just come outta nowhere. That idea was planted. And watered. And broadcasted on every screen in the 80s.

The real reason people believe that? It goes way deeper than just opinions — and once you see the numbers, the speeches, the policies… it’s kinda hard to unsee.

I’m not saying the system is rigged, but like… actually yeah, I am saying that.
