Life in the COVID-19 Era
In March of 2020 my life changed forever when COVID-19 and it Detroit the reaction was very similar to Sandra Bullock’s movie “Birdbox” or “Outbreak” it was complete chaos 1 pound of beef was being sold for at $10. There was no toilet paper for sale and people were going broke at unbelievable rates there was no doubt in my mind that the end would come any day. I thought I was a dead man for sure. 12 people I know personally died from COVID-19 and my biological and only older brother caught it and almost died he called me scared and my strong demeanor comforted him though I secretly thought he was going to die.

How Guaranteed Jobs Can Help America & Detroit Cut Poverty by 50% in Four Years at 12.5% Each Year!!!
In every major city across the country poverty is the mother of most the ills of mankind from drugs, robbery, murder, theft, scams, fraud, ponzi schemes, and even prostitution. Congresswoman Pressley, Tliab, Ocasio-Cortez, and Omar are the first politicians in American history to truly support legislation that will minimize poverty drastically. I’m sure freshmen congress members Jamaal Bowman and congresswoman Cori Bush of Black Lives Matter also support guaranteed jobs as well because they are on the same accord. Councilwoman Robin Rue Simmons of Evanstown, Illinois championed the idea of reparations and proposed it to Evanstown city council and it passed 8-1 only opposed by one council member that is oblivious to poverty. $400,000 dollars will be given to black families in Evanstown to build black wealth as a result of the courage of Evanstown City Council. Both Martin Luther King and Malcolm X knew that until black people and other people of color unite against poverty and organize a feasible plan that is actionable to combat poverty we will always be in subservient position under leadership that does not hold our best interest at heart.

Congresswoman AOC’s Green New Deal is Imperative to the Survival of America and the Entire Planet!!!
Not along ago we all witnessed what happened in Texas and we all know well that ice storms are never supposed to happen in Texas! There’s are no ice storms there ever (Maxouris, 2021). It’s time for Detroit and everywhere else to wake up and see that we’ve been bad stewards of the earth and it’s rejecting all the pollution it’s been given to ingest. It’s the earth’s way of telling us it’s not pleased and to do better or things are going to get worse. Things will surely get worse if we continue to not adhere to environmentally safe energy standards for vehicles of all sorts and also industrial machines. It is attainable we just need to execute going green and manifest the idea of being green from perception into reality. There’s so many ways to use clean energy and get more done without dirty energy. The earth is our most precious resource bar-none so with must protect it with the Green New Deal. It doesn’t matter how much money you have if you’re living in a highly polluted living space where chances are you’ll going get a form or forms of cancer, have asthma, and lower life expectancy from breathing toxins without even knowing it (Costly, 2020). Sometimes we’re just are not paying attention and that is a mistake because we must pay attention at all times. It doesn’t take a big thing it just takes the wrong small thing to happen for an environmental disaster to occur. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and US Senator Ed Markey get that we must act now because time probably has already ran out.

Congresswoman Tlaib’s Boost Act Is Needed In Every City Across The Country But Let’s Start With Detroit!!!
It’s time that America starts to utilize the endless wealth it has in mint platinum coins. In the COVID-19 era we have to evolve because the world will most likely never be the same again. Most people with active bank accounts use their debit or credit cards more than cash so the public has already been conditioned to use digital currency. This is why the “Boost Act”makes perfect sense for the people of Detroit. Detroit is furtile testing grounds for the “Boost Act” because the city had a 48% poverty rate prior to corona virus and it may likely be substantially higher because of the pandemic. It’s normal to see individuals waiting in foodlines in their cars wrapped around the corner on the daily basis at food banks and churches throughout the city. And also water shutoffs are rampant due to Detroit’s high water rates that are at least twice as high since Mayor Mike Duggan took office. Water is clearly supposed to be a human right but the water department doesn’t think so.

R. Kelly: Fallen King of R&B Geniuses Do Dumb *hit Too
When you talk about a musical genius R.Kelly is at the very top of any list new or old. No one could match his speed when it came to recording hit records and I say recording because he was functionally illiterate and could not read or write without help. That fact only adds to legend of his genius in the artistry of song. Kelly could not control his foolish urge for young girls when he could have had just about any adult woman of which he did but he enjoyed young girls more because in his mind they were more pure. His stupid fantasy of being with young girls has possibly put an end to the most brilliant rhythm and blues soul music the planet has ever known or ever will hear again. He recorded and had music written for the most prestigious and powerful musical icons the in world. Whitney Houston and Micheal Jackson are two artists that got instant hits from him. It was like R.Kelly was having outer body experience and we all got to witness true greatness every time he touched a microphone. His kind will never be found again and he has disgraced and sorely offended his fans and parents of young girls across the globe. He is the embodiment and living evidence that geniuses do dumb *hit too.

Tupac: Lord of Bringing Drama You Touch Me I’m At You!!!
Tupac is the most misoverstood artist in music history because most people do not get why he grew to be so combative and controversial. He is probably one of the most betrayed people in history by those who he once called friends. It was mostly out of their petty jealousy. Tupac was once attacked and nearly killed by a group that he formed and grew up with in Baltimore. But before all of that he moved to the west coast to Oakland as a teenager in a crack infested community where he dropped out of high school, sold drugs, but continued to develop his craft. He ended up getting his shot to become a member of the group of legendary old school hip-hop group “The Digital Underground.” There are many layers the genius of Tupac and there’s not enough words to do him justice but the meat of why he became the only true outlaw of hip-hop will be demonstrated in this illustration.

Drake: King of Streams Loved by Many and Hated by Many
Drake is currently the most popular and most streamed artist on the planet. He just was honored for getting 50 billion streams and he’s also gone platinum quite a few times as well. For some reason he always ends up leading the pack rather hip-hop scholars agree or not. What’s most interesting about Drake is his fanbase and their opinions of other more accomplished artists in comparison to Drake. Rather or not they have the facts of the other artists’ tenure it doesn’t matter to them they disrespectfully promo the leader of “OVO” even if it’s complete foolishness.
