In the words of the G.O.A.T.
"Nobody can give you freedom. Nobody can give you equality, or justice, or anything. If you're a man, you take it"
That was Malcolm X of course. And he was right.
In a country where they applaud - and even PAY - those who kill us, taking justice does NOT mean taking up arms while we're still struggling to get organized around a central goal.
Yes, warfare is sometimes a necessary evil, but we live in the greatest times in history.
Times when the most effective manner of waging war against your enemy is so simple and impactful, you can topple entire nations by making one simple decision.
SPEND LESS & BUILD.
It's really that simple.
See, grabbing guns and fighting will be too satisfying for our collective enemy.They were created for destruction and nothing tickles their pickle like a big body count.
They rejoice in it.
But what they don't rejoice in is losing money. On any level.
Collectively, we have $1.4 trillion dollar spending power. Let's see what we can do with some of that invested in our OWN good.
Here's just a few strategies that can be the beginning of something great

Cuz clearly, we're all we got!
