Exactly. I’m not an Olympian… I’ll never see the money that goes into a campaign to compete there. But, how crushing is my future at 50 going to be? If this Olympian contender got treated that way? How is my (dying) middle class, unfit ass going to survive in our dystopian future?
Holy fuck is that depressing… former Olympian contender who was exiled from her home nation due to her political beliefs… became an Uber driver in Miami and then a food server in Los Vegas, at 50, before she choked to death at her solo apartment and was only found because her place of employment reported her missing. Holy fuck.
I didn’t hear any political commentary about it, and watched it with an open mind that was invested in another Star Wars story, especially after Andor. And I watched it episodically. But, holy fuck. It broke all the force rules built up until this point, and the story didn’t make any sense. The Pitch guy did a great recap of it.
