  In a system that ask you to hate, look down on, oppress “the bad guys”, we are not letting others shine. Its like showing up to a waste plant looking to find shiny stuff. Our governing system is legislated to make waste.
  Don’t believe me?
  -Largest Prison population on the planet. We beat counties with 3-4x our population. Per Capita we far exceed any other country.
  -Are jails and prisons are NOT a “correctional facility”. Yes, is the worlds BEST networking system. One is put in the same place with all forms of others undesired behavior…and you get to KNOW them for months/years. WE LITERALLY manufacture crime in our system.
  
  I can go on, but if you are receptive and considerate you already know. Everyone else just makes excuses.
  Making other shine, if done wrong in a system of oppression/lies/excuses, feels like someone is blowing smoke up your rear end.
  No Im not being negative, to shine you also need to know the streets are intentionally made into mud.

  The NBA has the best players so it makes sense. and every basketball player around the world wants to make it in the NBA. Plus there are a lot of international players in the NBA.

Upload vs download speed: which one is actually making your home internet feel slow? If your video calls freeze, your files take forever to sync, or your livestream stutters, the problem is usually your upload speed — and most providers don’t advertise it.

GFiber has kept the same monthly price for gigabit internet since 2012 — no annual contracts, no forced bundles, free installation, and month-to-month flexibility. See what real customers say on the GFiber channel: youtube.com/@GFiber
