You’re at work. You love your job and have been a dedicated employee for many years. You have taken the required course to become effective at your job and open to attending professional trainings to evolve and become better. As time moves on, you gain a strong sense of safety at your workplace. You trust the people you collaborate with daily. They trust you as well. Eventually, through team-building exercises and ice breakers, you gain a sense of “family” with your workplace peers. Life could not be any better.

How Money Affects Sports: Understanding Global Capitalism
As the world changed, the various nations became more interconnected and open to the world market. In its commotion, globalization was crucial to the emergence of a capitalist market. Many people see global capitalism as a free and linked economic system that fosters innovation, eases cross-cultural interactions, generates employment in developing countries, and provides consumers with reasonably priced goods. The popularity of globally renowned sports celebrities, commercial enterprises, and global communication media all had an impact on the 20th century's globalization of modern sport. Through sponsorships, endorsements, and broadcasting, businesses can reach a worldwide consumer base. In this piece, I'll examine how globalization, capitalism, and sports history relate to competitive sports.

Stop Wasting Tax Money on School Busses
I rode the bus in first grade, not second grade. I rode the bus in third grade, not in fourth grade. I rode the bus in fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth grade, but not in tenth, eleventh, or twelfth grades. So more than half of my public school years (7 out of 13 to be specific), I was a bus rider, while the other better years I either walked to school or drove my own car to get there. I am a high school graduate. I am an American citizen. I do NOT support school bussing.

What Brian Thompson and Luigi Mangione can teach us
In this article I will discuss what people like Brian Thompson and Luigi Mangione and even the woman that turned him in can teach us. Most of it is what we should already know. Before I begin, as in the previous article about Brian Thompson, I do not condone violence. For people bringing up eh French Revolution, they need to remember the Reign of Terror and how the French got Napoleon Bonaparte. As a person said in a move, "revolutions have a way of turning against you." This does not mean I have any sympathy for Brian Thompson and his ilk. Trust me when I tell you that his kind are only worried about losing their money and do not care about you. They are mostly made up of psychopaths, so they are incapable of feeling anything. Psychopaths tend to gravitate to positions of power and money.

"UNIQUE HUMANS". Content Warning.
I created this article and art to finalize my story writing regarding the results of the 2024 election. I am having a GRIM time wrapping my head around the masses of people who voted for authoritarian rule. I AM NOT GOING BACK! I must shout it out! This is the 21st century and the far-right wealthy people and over half of America voted to live under authoritarian rule. If I were wealthy, I would still be an empath, humanatarian, and caring person, not a rich fool that wants to dictate to the world. In my opinion' anyone who wants to dictate over others is a very weak human. A dictator has mental issues, low self-esteem, and is a bitter individual full of hate, destruction, and anger. They are small people who must bully others to cover up their inadequacies and fear of rejection as they tear up everything and everyone that disagrees with their abuse.
