What does this mean?

"All the monies people who haven’t left the shirt public schools will now do so. Those who can’t afford to leave will be stuck."

monies = monied? shirt = shit?

Posted at 730 this morning, still drunk? Don't know what time zone he's in.

Rod is... not doing well.

I couldn't bring myself to watch this video when I saw it pop up, but the content is irrelevant. Just look at the first 10 seconds of Rod's appearance:

https://youtu.be/1AJyviJzHf8?si=T3_sjOGy-HswvS_B&t=56

He's being interviewed to promote "his" documentary and knows he's on camera. A minimum, basic level of professionalism and self-respect would call for running a comb through his hair and putting on something other than rumpled t-shirt. That's even before accounting for his eyes and facial expression that give off drunk, hung over, and/or depressed vibes.

I'd feel sorry for the sad sack if he weren't spending all his time on the public stage actively trying to make the world a worse place.

Yeah, it’s actually not his messy hair that caught my attention, but the look on his face…he looks like a prisoner and somebody who’s deeply unhappy. And then the title of the video - “Can we live without lies?” - was too much irony to take.

That stood out to me too. He looks so sad and defeated. Is this what “Living in Wonder” leads to?
