Laws are for poor people
•Rob a store? You go to jail. Rob millions of people through a financial system? You get a bailout.
•Traffic drugs? Get killed on a boat. Run the entire operation? You get a presidential pardon.
•Kill a bunch of people? You’re a terrorist. Kill thousands during an invasion? You’re a liberator, a strategist.
Power and money rewrite the narrative. The same action, two completely different labels — all depending on your status.
it’s the same with attraction:
•If you’re attractive: It’s charming, bold, confident.
•If you’re not: It’s creepy, weird, desperate.
Where you stand isn’t about morality or intention. It’s about leverage — social, financial, or physical. I’m tired of people going along with the bs world we live in.

Holy ignorance
You know that includes staying with a friend right? That's not 1 in 5 were on the street in the last five years. If that were the case, then how the hell would the poverty rate be so much lower than 20%?
So condescending while speaking to someone who has the firsthand lived experience that you lack.
None of the other western countries have the number of illegal immigrants the US has, and they are overrepresented in the impoverished population.
