It’s just a little fucked up that the asshole who swindled rich people gets 150 years, but most of the assholes who swindled poor people haven’t even lost their jobs. And that’s to say nothing of the assholes staffed by the regulatory bodies whose enormous incompetence enabled Madoff’s crimes, no less members of the administration under whose watch the economy collapsed.
Whenever I talk about someone in hip-hop, I kind of have to take for granted that they’re going to see it. But that’s always been a principle that I’ve tried to hold to, to speak about someone as if they’d watch it anyway. I try to set an example for being kind to people, and critiquing them while still being aware of their humanity.
[E]very bloody fast food restaurant has suddenly become enamored of bros, with “hip dudes” taking their cues from Burger King’s horrendous Crispin Porter ad campaign and pushing the worst 23 year old men on earth on the rest of us who just want to buy some fucking fries once in a while. Not everyone who eats at fast food restaurants is a total douchebag, but everyone in the commercials for fast food restaurants seems to be.
