Top 10 ways the little guy takes it up the ass
Life is tough for the little guy.
Please note this is just my opinion and I will mention topics not mentioned in the attached video. I will describe the ways the little guy takes it up the ass in this world. This list is in no way exhaustive.
Rent. If you are unfortunate enough to have to rent because you cannot afford to buy a house, then you get to watch your rent increase dramatically each year. Since you are the little guy, or poor you will get to enjoy the stench of cancer-causing cigarette smoke. Don’t expect your neighbors to care about no smoking rules or laws, hell they don’t care about your health or theirs.
Driving. Being the little guy sometimes means you are friendly or thoughtful, but this is not a good thing when driving. You allow someone to merge and they thank you by driving really slowly or slamming the brakes to cause an accident. They will try to get in front of you, barely causing an accident when there were no cars behind you. If you ever driven through a poor neighborhood you will notice the police are a bit more aggressive to traffic enforcement, so enjoy those tickets you cannot afford.
Politicians. Ever notice that when someone gets into politics, they are not very rich and after a couple of years they are multimillionaires. Some bash capitalism while making millions. The reason that happens is the only reason, I believe, they are interested in politics is to take advantage of loopholes or even create loopholes so they can take advantage of them. Notice that no matter what their ideology and what they claim the people they represent never get any better. If you are the little guy you cannot get elected, since politicians will easily out spend you and the media will be on their side.
Working. If you are the little guy at work, you can expect to work a lot, work hard and make nothing. You will be treated like a slave and given no respect. People will talk to you like you are nothing. If you work at a minimum wage job, then you will get yelled at, cussed at, or attacked, because the trash that are easily angered mainly go after people that are on the job or when they have people with them.
Healthcare. If you are the little guy you cannot afford to get sick and you certainly cannot afford to get sever injuries and illnesses. Many times, the healthcare workers, including doctors will ignore your illness.
Investing. When the stock market crashes, which is cyclic, that is the best time to buy index funds but if you are poor like me you have no chance. You cannot simply take advantage of all the investing opportunities since no one taught you financial literacy. You end up in so much debt and that can be compounded if you work at a fifth-rate job that does not give out raises or cost of living increases. Finding another job may be impossible and no job wants to be the one that gives you a huge pay increase.
Racism and bigotry. If you are the little guy you will experience more racism and bigotry, and this does not matter your skin tone. Look at it this way, there are roughly 45 million African Americans in the United States and roughly 160 million whites so it should come as no surprise that blacks will encounter it more bu tis will be more prevalent if you are the little guy. People automatically look down on you if you are the little guy and that also gets mistaken for racism but that is just arrogance and snobbery.
Education. If you are little guy you cannot afford the top-notch colleges and universities, but remember those are not better than your local community college, career colleges such as wielding, HBCU’s or state Universities.
Side Hustle. Try to grow a YouTube channel, sell merch on TeeSpring, Printify or try any other way to make money. It can take years to grow a YouTube channel and you need a huge following to sell merch. Vocal Media is great but again you need a huge following on your social media sites and YouTube.
Life in general. Being the little guy takes a huge toll on your mental health and life becomes a drag.
I hope you enjoyed this and remember, it shouls not be taken seriously and much of it is exaggeration and just for fun.

My 2024 Presidential Bid
I am not being serious but if I am elected in 2024, 2028 or whatever the year I will take my duties seriously. I have plenty of videos of what I will do if I were President on my YouTube gaming channel. This should not be taken seriously unless you are willing to vote for me. A President is only as good as his advisors and his/her willingness to listen to them. I will make a quick list, but I go in depth on my YouTube channel.

US Labels Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, Lebanon, and Jordan as ‘Terrorists’: A Major Shift in Middle East Policy
The United States has officially designated the Muslim Brotherhood’s branches in Egypt, Lebanon, and Jordan as terrorist organizations, marking a significant change in Washington’s stance toward one of the most influential Islamist movements in the Middle East. This announcement, made by the State Department, is expected to have far-reaching consequences for regional politics, diplomacy, and counterterrorism efforts. A Controversial Organization Founded in Egypt in 1928 by Hassan al-Banna, the Muslim Brotherhood has evolved from a religious and social movement into a politically influential organization across multiple countries. It operates social services, charities, and political entities, but some factions have also been accused of engaging in militant activities. Historically, the Brotherhood has maintained a complex position in global politics: viewed as a legitimate political actor by some governments and as a security threat by others. Before this designation, the United States had largely differentiated between the Brotherhood’s political and militant wings, often engaging with non-violent factions for diplomatic purposes. By labeling the Egyptian, Lebanese, and Jordanian branches as terrorist organizations, the US is signaling a zero-tolerance approach, potentially treating all elements of the movement as threats. Implications for Egypt In Egypt, the Brotherhood has been banned since 2013 following the military removal of former President Mohamed Morsi, the group’s first democratically elected leader. The Egyptian government has since carried out a harsh crackdown on members, imprisoning thousands and restricting the organization’s activities. The US decision aligns with Cairo’s hardline stance and provides international validation for continued suppression. However, analysts warn that the designation may further radicalize the movement’s underground elements, potentially leading to an increase in clandestine activity. Impact on Lebanon Lebanon presents a more complicated scenario. Unlike in Egypt, the Muslim Brotherhood in Lebanon primarily operates as a political and social organization without a significant armed wing. The US terrorist designation could disrupt Lebanon’s delicate political balance, which relies on cooperation among multiple sectarian and ideological groups. Critics argue that this move may inadvertently push some factions closer to extremist groups, destabilizing a nation already facing political and economic challenges. Consequences for Jordan In Jordan, the Muslim Brotherhood functions as a recognized political party, participating in parliamentary elections and social programs. By labeling the organization a terrorist entity, the US risks creating tensions between the Jordanian monarchy and Brotherhood supporters. This could provoke unrest, weaken moderate political participation, and complicate US-Jordan relations, which have historically relied on cooperation with both government authorities and political Islamists. International Reactions The US decision has prompted mixed international responses. Gulf nations such as Saudi Arabia and the UAE, which have long opposed the Brotherhood, welcomed the designation, viewing it as a step toward curbing the organization’s regional influence. Conversely, European allies have expressed concern that such a sweeping classification could undermine diplomatic engagement and limit channels for negotiating with moderate Islamist groups who participate in political processes. Human rights organizations have also criticized the move. They argue that lumping non-violent political activity together with terrorism risks undermining civil liberties and discouraging peaceful political participation. “By not distinguishing between armed militants and lawful political actors, this policy could fuel alienation and radicalization rather than prevent it,” said an analyst from an international think tank. Broader Implications for US Policy This designation reflects a broader US policy shift toward political Islam in the Middle East. Officials argue that labeling the Brotherhood as a terrorist organization will limit funding, restrict movement, and reduce the operational capabilities of groups perceived as threats. However, critics caution that this approach could backfire by eliminating moderate voices, empowering authoritarian regimes, and alienating populations who view the Brotherhood as a legitimate representative of their interests. Looking Ahead The US labeling of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, Lebanon, and Jordan as terrorist organizations is likely to have profound political, security, and diplomatic repercussions. Beyond cutting off financial and logistical support, the decision could reshape regional alliances, alter internal political dynamics, and redefine the US approach to Islamist movements in the Middle East. Governments in the region now face the challenge of managing local responses while balancing international relations and domestic stability. For the Brotherhood, the designation raises urgent questions about strategy, from legal challenges to underground operations. In an increasingly volatile Middle East, the US decision underscores the continuing struggle between state authorities and Islamist movements, highlighting the difficult balance between security, political inclusion, and the rights of citizens. As events unfold, the world will be watching closely to see whether this controversial move strengthens stability or fuels further unrest.
