From your Chicago neighbor, that was well said. I’m happy to meet you Miss Lauren Keyana Palmer. I love your KeKe persona in movies and especially on Password.

It’s so crazy to me that Americans will clap this story thinking THEY need to get rich, not that a society where your family is constantly stressed and struggles for healthcare, rent, education, basically any good opportunities – the solution is not that one of your kids makes it on the stage, all the resources are there, they just arent distributed fairly in the slightest. If you watched this and all you now wanna change is how much harder you grind for $ then you are well and truly missing the point.

Coming from a country where true poverty feels a fever dream, it’s still unfathomable to me how common it is in the US.
