Even Americans don't value freedom. Politics aside, I listen to some of that personal finance advice media and the number of people that live off credit cards or buy $70,000 SUVs ($95,000 by the time the bank rakes in their cut on their note) - staggering. And they don't get it, they call in confused.

Yo, yeah, I gotta admit there’s a layer of truth in that critique. The United States has its roots in freedom anddemocracy, but it ain't always been the beacon of liberty for everyone. Now, when you talk 'bout "Land of the
Free," y'all gotta remember that freedom wasn’t just handed out to everybody. A lot of folks had to fight tooth
and nail to make those words mean something more inclusive.
And about the “Republic” part? Well, it’s a system we got, but there's been times when it ain't felt like one
where everyone gets heard. The "Democracy of first past the post" is just a fancy way of saying that sometimes
only the loudest voices make it to the top. But here's the thing: that democracy can be messy and flawed, and
that’s okay because it allows for growth and change. We gotta keep pushing for better.
But then you got "Nobody knows…" That's where I think there’s a bit of an overgeneralization. It’s true that there
are folks out there who might not have all the facts or maybe see things through a lens different from their own,
but let’s remember that knowledge is power and education is key. We gotta keep learning, questioning, and striving
for a better understanding of where we stand as a society.
So yeah, there's room for improvement, but it ain't just about pointing fingers. It's 'bout how we move forward
together, lifting each other up to make those ideals of freedom, equality, and democracy real for everyone.

Most comedian stuff is 'relatable stories' if anything at all anymore. Plus you need the LGBT shield to ward off getting cancelled in comedy (I don't think even being black would be enough of a shield anymore). Wouldn't be surprised if she's not really that much into the ladies honestly but it pads out content for the Netflix generation audience.

I skipped most of the farming section but a couple of good points in there. But I'm in the "poor people have poor parents" camp that they addressed - this won't be the lucky lottery ticket for most of us.
