Let’s paint a picture:

 The US is the most incarcerated country in the world. On both a volume and per capita basis 60% of US people are living paycheck to paycheck

 Medical Issues are the cause of most bankruptcies

 There is no guarantee of healthcare, vacation, paid parental leave, or sick leave

 The US has the world’s largest economy.

 If you are a typical worker for Walmart or another top employer, the CEO is on average compensated ~400x more than you.

 The US spends more than the top 10+ countries combined on the military & more than most countries’ military on the US police force.

 Life Expectancy is going Down not up.

 The country isn’t working for the average US citizen

 We can adjust the US’ Trajectory by believing & investing in our people. We are one of the most diverse people in the world, who value individuality, speaking one’s mind, and taking care of family & friends.

 We deserve to share in the US’ massive economy instead of gains & benefits disproportionately going to the top .01%.

Get ready for an action-packed night of NBA playoff matchups! Tonight's games will have you on the edge of your seat with the Boston Celtics taking on the Atlanta Hawks, the Cleveland Cavaliers facing off against the New York Knicks, and the Denver Nuggets looking to sweep the Minnesota Timberwolves.

The Celtics are currently leading the series 2-0 and are favored by 5.5 points on the home team with a high-scoring game set at 229 points. However, the Hawks have shown some real fight in the previous matchups, and I like them at +5.5 with the home crowd behind them. With coach Quin Synder's knack for making key adjustments, this could be a thrilling game that goes down to the wire.

Meanwhile, the Cavs are bringing some serious momentum into Madison Square Garden after tying the series 1-1. The Knicks are slightly favored at -1.5, but I'm most confident in the under for this game. Keep an eye out for Mitchell's first playoff game at MSG and lock him in at over 29.5 points for a nice parlay builder. RJ Barrett should also have a strong game after a rough start on the road. I'm predicting the Knicks in 6 for this series, so a money line play on them in this pivotal game 3 is a must.

Finally, the Nuggets are looking to move closer to a sweep of the T'Wolves and prove to the national media that they are legitimate title contenders. Although Denver is the safe bet at -2.0, I'm feeling confident enough to move the line to -7.5. After withstanding an early flurry fueled by pride from the T'Wolves, I could see this game turning into a blowout in favor of the Nuggets.

Get your popcorn ready, folks - these games are going to be a wild ride!
