The weight of the dollar has tipped the scale of morality in human beings.
When it is more important to sell a rating percentage or be front page the truth gets tossed around like a rag doll.
The narrative for everything is swayed and influenced to its highest levels in order to control public opinion.
Do not buy in to these media commodities,
yes commodities because there is no objective news.
Everything is subjective to the narrative that represents the dollar of the day.
Authors note- This piece is a quick rant to how money hungry and deviant people can be because money. Believe me, I would love to be rich and powerful but not in a corrupt or immoral way and if that is the only way to get there then I guess that’s why the mass isn’t rich and powerful. I truly believe the core of America is great but when the only media to consume nowadays is about corrupt powerful leaders it’s hard not to feel this way. Thank you for reading!

My Favorite Poem
To all of you reading this, "Salut au Monde" probably does not mean anything. Please allow me to unpack the various meanings of this compact phrase. French people say "Salut" as we say "hi" and "bye." It is a bit less formal than "Bonjour." "Au Monde" means "to the world," so the translation of the title is basically "Hello World" or "Hello to the World."

New Normal
There is always a moment — small, quiet, almost forgettable — when the spark stops being a warning and becomes a state. It never looks like a turning point from the outside. It’s not a dramatic shift. It’s not a cinematic beat. It’s a subtle internal click, a recalibration so slight that only someone who has lived this cycle as many times as I have would recognize it.
