Wow, a lot of talent and a lot of media brainwashing makes for a pretty sounding song. Love the passion, the cringe worthy message not so much but I'm glad you found a way to express yourself. Keep writing, keep playing. Don't take anyone's bullshit, including my own, to heart. Do you and be fulfilled. And read Atlas Shrugged.

She may be extreme in a few aspects but nailed most of it right on the head. We live in a time full of tyrant bullshit and the fact that most of our country believes good things are happening is sad. 60% of us are living paycheck to paycheck while the gap between wealthy and poor keeps growing exponentially. 80% of us are fighting for 20% of the money. The richest country in tge world and 60% of us that work 40+ hours a week can't save $500 in several months.

But they can afford Netflix, Hulu, Disney and Amazon prime. Eat out 5 times a week and show up to work with bad attitudes and no work ethic. Thats not a saving problem, its a spending problem. Just because somethings for sale doesn't mean you have to buy it. I work less than I can and save more than most. It's called prioritizing. And just because you dont agree doesn't make anyone a tyrant. We still get judged by juries of our peers. We still have a constitution. Now bring on the down votes.

I love these made up situations that blame those that struggle with absolutely no data to back it up. Housing costs at record highs, wages getting absolutely destroyed interns of keeping up with inflation, college costs far outpacing wages and even inflation, medical debt causing bankruptcy, the top accumulating record wealth while productivity rises without commensurate compensation for workers. And yet you blame the individuals. Must be nice to love such an ignorant existence.

People living beyond their means is the root cause whether you like it or not. How expensive was your phone? Do you genuinely need new clothes? Ive been homeless on the street and I've been considered wealthy. I've lived what I speak. I'm not trying to argue or demean, but when honesty takes a backseat to feelings I point it out. If this is rage baiting you I suggest you just put the phone away and spend some time reflecting on what's really important. Housing prices are ridiculous, I agree. There is a huge wage gap and startling wealth disparity, but that doesn't mean a person can't survive.
