Sometimes I think I'm smart then I hear stories like this and I'm humbled.

She is a hero and a legend. It just makes me think, it's so sad that we live in a world where the most altruistic, talented, and capable people make less than those that are the best at taking advantage of the system and others for their own greed.

    That's what our economic system suppresses to bring the losers to the top.

    Wanna bet someone else profited off her hard work in some fashion without her seeing a dime? I know AI did.

    Did you know that the board game "Monopoly" was originally called The Landlord's Game, meant to showcase how property ownership breaks the capitalist system for the common man?

    A capitalist came along, rebranded it "Monopoly", took all the credit and lived like a king.

    Sweat of my brow indeed.
