The things people make up in their heads and then have the nerve to say it or better than some scripted soap operas back in the day. Social media is the landing point.

The term living wage is become a new thing over the past few months. Basically what it means is the ability to pay for the basic necessities on any given salary. Meaning that you would always be guaranteed a certain amount of money on a job and you would be able to buy the necessities in life by working that job.

There's a lot of things that need to change in our society. I grew up during a time or playing Nintendo with what people did they went outside and played with their friends. They had get togethers at their families houses on the weekends. It wasn't about social media you didn't really care what anybody else said. The most things you had to worry about were drama in schools that usually took care of themselves after a few days. Now today one post on a major social media platform can change people's lives for better or worse. Nobody really cares if it's worse because they say it's their opinion it's their feelings. They don't care who they hurt and they really don't care who they don't. Life needs to go back to Nintendo let's play Nintendo instead. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/david-allen98/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/david-allen98/support

Those are the words that people in today's society seem to be living by. When ultimately nobody wants to take any responsibility for any of the problems going on in today's world.

Yes, I understand the title throws some people off. Valentines Day in my opinion is the most oversold, not needed holiday on the calendar. Sure, it works out if you sell candy, flowers, and lavish hotel rooms. For that, yes companies need the money, but people shouldn't need the day. If you need one special day a year to show that you love someone, something is very wrong. It should be done everyday. If you have to spend money to show someone you love them, something is wrong. Love should be shown all the time, not on the day society chooses to commercialize it. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/david-allen98/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/david-allen98/support
