"Gen Z always complaining claiming 'they're too old now they need to rest' Rest for who? Should we turn down deals and money cause of Gen Z? Nobody is saying Gen Z shouldn't get bread. But did anyone rest for us to become successful? Nope. Nobody stopping anyone from making it. There's enough money for everyone."

"Instead of working, y'all wanna sit and wait for people to create spaces for you to catwalk in stress-free."

"These streets ain't for the weak. It's hard work that separates people and nobody should ever need to rest to accommodate anyone. Y'all get up your lazy a$$ and work. Success waits for nobody. Stop this narrative."

Iranian President Dies in Plane Crash

Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and the country’s foreign minister were found dead Monday hours after their helicopter crashed in fog, leaving the Islamic Republic without two key leaders as extraordinary tensions grip the wider Middle East.

Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has the final say in the Shiite theocracy, quickly named a little-known vice president as caretaker and insisted the government was in control, but the deaths mark yet another blow to a country beset by pressures both at home and abroad.

Iran has offered no cause for the crash nor suggested sabotage brought down the helicopter, which fell into mountainous terrain in a sudden, intense fog.
