People drop $16 at Chick-fil-A or McDonald’s for seed-oil junk without blinking, then swear they’re “too broke” for real food. For that same $16 at the grocery store you can get a dozen eggs, a pound of beef, & a bag of apples. It’s not the prices. It’s the priorities. MAHA

This 80 year old man gets paid big bucks to sing and dance in front of 100,000s of people. What are you doing in your golden years? Does anyone recognize him? Is 80 the new 40?
