Now we getting into like, like, yeah.

One thing that I was trying to tell, I actually go next month, but I go to Phoenix Academy, which is the alternative school in Atlanta to talk to them, you know, advocating for trades.

Just, you know, just change the perspective about like what they're engaging in.

And, um, fuck, I forgot what I was going to say.

What was we just talking about?

I was saying... Oh, yeah.

I was telling them about, like, how much it costs to be a criminal.

So, like, how much money goes back to the state.

Like, yeah, let's just say you selling and you then amass $2,500 and then you get caught.

That $2,500 is a lot to you without a job, but all that shit is going back.

Yeah, the bail is, let's say the bail is $800.

The probation fees are going to be at least $1,500.

Yeah, that $2,500 is cooked.

You just did that for nothing.

You did all that hustling to give them money.

And I think that that perspective of how expensive it is to be incarcerated, how expensive it is to just get caught.

You know what I mean?

Even if you're not guilty, you still got to pay state fees.

You still got to pay for a lawyer.

It's so expensive.
