Whoa, the food in New Orleans sounds next level, Samuél. I’m full up just reading this. It sounds like a heady cocktail party of a city. So glad you were blessed to lose yourself there. Good luck with the gig on Friday. I am hoping to tune in on Saturday evening if everything lines up. Hugs to you city slickers from your friends in the countryside! X
The inflation after the pandemic (housing, cars, gas, food) caused the natives to be restless and they blamed Biden.
They don't know economics and indeed Yellin caused some of it, for their own good.
Even if there was a "I feel your pain" declaration, that resentment is hard and proved impossible to deflect. Discontent of the silent majority leads to turbulent outcomes, such as Nov 5th, Brexit, Hitler and revolutions. These moments attract old cliches, paradigm, “ism’s”, fascism, socialism, communism, capitalism.
Yes indeed. Most folks vote with their wallets, I suspect. Can't really blame 'em when the system tells us the most important thing in life is a fat wallet. To your point, we've seen this all before; 'tis the era of isms taking center stage. It's not surprising at all, and only troubling to the extent that we forget this is the nature of history, playing out in real time
A resounding ouiiii
Happy Homecoming.
Just like in Carrie?
Never saw it. I simply meant welcome home, but your home isn't my home, so it sounded off.
Happy returns. There it is. 💜
ah yes the proverbial home of our hearts. Thank you friend 🙏🏼
Loved this Samuél🩵

The economy, stupid.

"the nature of history, playing out in real time"
You're the wordsmith, I don't think this is a mixed metaphor, it has something to do with juxtaposition. Playing with time in the 21st century.
