Not everything in this world is terrible. It only seems that way when you spend too much time on the internet. Though, the internet is also where you find videos like this. A UPS driver who escaped socialist rule in Cuba celebrating his paycheck in America. I'll trade one of him for ten Zoomers who tell you "real Marxism has never been tried" any day.

Not sure who he is or where this is from. I also don't know how it suddenly got all dusty in my office.

"But Brodigan, wait until he discovers taxes!"

Lol... you said "butt Brodigan." Yes, we've all had the same experience when we first discover how much the government takes of our hard-earned money. And the same experience when we find out where the money is going. Our friend here has a different background and offers a different perspective.

I prefer that to Fidel Castro, Castro took everything. Communism took everything.

The UPS driver's next words may even make Mike Rowe misty.

You know what? This is my first hourly paycheck. That I feel every hour of work counts. That every hour is important in my life. And you can work hard for something. That's an emotion I cannot describe.

See?

God bless you, friend.
