When you really think about it,
why don't they really teach us any life skills in school? Really?
No, really
think about it. It's cause they don't want us to thrive in life.
They just want us to survive just barely enough to be a good little slave.
That's exactly what it is.
They don't teach us about business.
They don't teach us about taxes.
They don't teach us about nothing important
that will allow us to thrive as grown UPS in the world.
They just teach us just enough.
Just to be a good little boy,
good little girl. Just be a good little slave.
