Chicago — Aight, so check it: United Airlines, they done admitted they hit up American Airlines wit' a merger proposal, right? But American ain't tryna hear it. Straight ghosted 'em. Cold game, man. This industry wildin' out here.

These corporations out here playin' chess while we just tryna catch a flight home to see fam. They talkin' 'bout market share and regulations, but what about the people? What about the folks workin' them baggage claims and flyin' them planes? They the ones gonna get played when these big companies start consolidatin'.

Remember when they merged before? Layoffs everywhere. Wages gettin' cut. And the prices for tickets? Sky high. They sayin' it's good for business, but who's business they talkin' 'bout? Cause it ain't the community's.

United out here lookin' thirsty, tryin' to lock down American. But maybe American ain't tryna be no corporate wife. Maybe they got their own hustle. Either way, it's a reminder that these companies ain't loyal to nothin' but the bottom line. They playin' the game, and we just pawns in they strategy.

So next time you bookin' a flight, remember this: they ain't lookin' out for you. They lookin' out for they pockets. Stay woke, y'all. Keep ya eyes open and ya guard up. Cause in this game, you either get played or you play the game. Know what I'm sayin'?

Word to ya mutha. Real talk. No cap.
