  1. America is

    23 in education.
    25 in democracy index.
    34 in raising family index.
    37 in healthcare.
    No high-speed train.
    Highest number of homeless people.
    Highest number of incarcerated people.
    78% of people live paycheck to paycheck.

    Stock market is not economy of Americans! Where 90% of money belongs to top 10% of the population, it’s wallet for the rich.

    Let’s talk like adults, instead of name calling.

    I have left the proof on my playlist, if you would like to check!

    Let’s make our country better together. .. ..

  2. “Pity those who don’t feel anything at all.”
    If my Dad passed away, my face would not have a smirk as this woman.
    One thing you can’t hide – is when you’re crippled inside.

    1. What is this? Some kind of grief shaming? You can allude to your own ways of grieving without disparaging someone elses. So unnecessary and narrow minded. This was 5mins of her life in her professional capacity. She owes you no emotion.

  3. It is important to consider that anyone speaking is speaking from their own perspective and it is all relative…

  4. From my perspective, Her detached demeanor seems repressed.
    Her dad just died..
    She has a creative mother who painted her feelings…
    There are two important things here…

    A family left here(mother).
    And a daughter who is comforted by a mother who lost a husband and has her support…

    MANY PEOPLE HAVE NEITHER.

    Context Is EVERYTHING When DEALING WITH LOSS!!!

  5. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace ☮️ was upon him; and with his strips we are healed. Isaiah 53:4-5 🕊️

  6. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Psalm 23:4 🕊️

  7. Hmm, my memories of 2020: firenado + shartnado (that is _not_ a typo) with a heaping side of dammit, what’d he do _now?!?_
