It has become aggressive on Social Media by those trying to sell you a seminar on how to become rich. However, the only one making money is the one selling you the seminar and all the books and stuff from him. You walk away with new buzzwords but no new knowledge on what you thought would help you. Buzzwords never make you rich. They key to success is hard work and constant learning about your field of interest.

Too much bad politics is being produced through the media and politicians that I have to keep Political Tuesday going until the end of this election cycle.
