I have been trying to explain this for a while now. Trying to explain what I see happening in the United States. Trying to explain it to the people who can’t see the big picture, can’t separate what they want from what they can have from what is being offered to them and by whom.

It's been a while. How ya'll been? I've been watching a few movies. https://ranthonyings.com/2023/12/wonderful-family-man/

If you formed any ideas about the world of the first game or movie in the series you are choosing to consume (and who doesn’t do that?) then you are likely to be disappointed in the expression of the actual developed story when you are experiencing it. https://ranthonyings.com/2023/11/hzd-vs-hfw-whats-in-a-sequel/
