You ever think about how Kanye West wearing a pair of ultraboots led to vivet?

Not trying to hate, but the vivet thing looked so performative when that dude was just standing there with his journal trying to get everybody to notice he was writing in his journal… in public…

The all white shirt he sold was blatant white supremacy, but people acted like there was no problem until he started going after the jews.

I’m pretty sure he was canceled for everyone who wasn’t a fan the moment "slavery was a choice" left his mouth.

But still I remember kids in middle school bragging about having $1,000 shoes and it was like, our phones cost $1,000, but can your Yeezys run Minecraft? Probably not…

Then you grow up and realize $1,000 is basically a month’s rent for a studio apartment. Which is paradoxically a dumb amount to spend on shoes for a 13 year old boy and also a completely unimpressive sum of money at the same time.

Slaves could always run away, but would that be smart?
Slaves did not have a way to get food, shelter, security, social ties, information, and more.
It "wasn't a choice" in the same way you don't have a choice in quitting your job. As in, you could whenever you felt like it, but people prefer the comfort of their employer's protection over going it alone in the wilderness.

I’ve heard the opinion that that’s actually the real logic behind the second amendment. The only way you could keep that many people enslaved is with guns.

If someone runs from the slave quarters at night you probably won't land a shot by the time you realize they ran. It's dark and they have a head start. Even if you have a rifle by your bed, even if you are a good shot.
Phrenological research has show with overwhelming certainty that the negro is predisposed to submission and physical labor.
Look at how they live now that voluntary submission has been banned by anti-black democrats. Broken families, drug use, crime, and other sin.
There's a theory that the democrats realized beinging so many across the Atlantic was creating a growing population and just decided to cut their losses in the civil war and leave them to their own faculties.

You do realize Abraham Lincoln was a republican, right?
I mean, you’re retarded, you probably think he was a democrat.

@1,432,831 (TheDarkChad)This is the last turd Lincoln shat. It was retrieved from the thunder pot at the Ford's Theater where his last bowel movement took place.

I remember spending $500/month to live in a run down building. It gave me more disposable income at the time. I had fun with it. I’d find non-fabric furniture and fix it up, restain it, and made the place look pretty cool.

Apparently economists say inflation is actually good for the economy because it forces people to work harder. I took economics and I get it and everything, but that concept still pisses me off just a tiny bit.

Also it makes it rational to spend your money now rather than slave it. Which makes sense, also pisses me off a little bit.

That doesn't make sense at all, you can just trade your dollars into an index funds, stock, foreign currency, bitcoin, land trust, or 1000 other mediums from an app, and convert it back right before you need to spend it.
There's no law that says you must hold your wealth in cash.

On a macro level, it definitely makes sense. The US economy is driven by consumer spending and inflation increases consumer spending so the government has a target amount of inflation that they consider to be healthy for the economy.

One of the reasons why China has had problems with maintaining their economic growth and why they haven’t quite caught up to the United States yet is because Chinese people tend to spend less and save more, which is smart on an individual level, but bad on a national level, because consumer spending creates growth. You have to think of it as a feedback loop. Your salary is someone else’s consumer spending. If somebody else doesn’t spend their salary, you don’t get yours. So a country like the United States with more irresponsible financial habits where people don’t save as much, live paycheck to paycheck, that encourages more growth.

Now the right question to ask, is why do we need to grow forever? And the answer to that is, because.
