        It's a high score in a game. They ALWAYS want more.

        yeah i cant wrap my head around that much money. if i even just had 100k id try to figure something out like living on a beach in a hut litteraly anywhere but the US for the rest of my life. its bizzare to "hoard" money like that. if my high school econ class taught me anything, it was that this leads to the dollar amount being wortha lot less to the folk

      Props to 50 cent for saying that out loud (sorta I guess).

      Is it about taxes? I know Ice Cube went to both parties about something (forgetting what) and only the Republicans/Trump promised he'd listen. The dems were "oh we'll listen to you after the election."

        Ice cube wants a bunch of money pumped into the black community so it can trickle up, hopefully into his basket ball league im sure. I'm not saying reparations are bad.

        but on bad faith pod he was extremely uncomfortable with all the ism talk as he said. He also had no idea politically what he is talking about. He did say he doesn't want rich people paying for everything. That you gotta make your way. So I mean his a conservative boot strapper. Also was paying no attention to the primary. The guy is just your average dumb voter that comes in at the end and messes with others hard activism.

        Its pretty clear he doesn't really know what his talking about.

          Oh, I agree Cube is dumb. I'm just saying the "suddenly: Black Rapper Support!" isn't so shocking if going by Cube's admission of "I tried to talk to both, the dem's wanted to wait. So yeah... fuck them" is true.

        Kamala Harris invited Ice Cube to a zoom call with some other people but Ice Cube wanted to talk alone.
