Americans Are Doomed to Repeat the Past



If you always do
what you always did,
then you will always get
what you always got...”

Bullshit,” Americans say, “that shit just don't apply to me... as, I'm making more money than before and I'm buying more toys than before...”

And, it is all that I can do to keep from smiling and laughing (inside) at their economic ignorance about the “real cost” of inflation.

Here is some very interesting data....
The median household income for Americans is $50,500
However, the median wage in the US per person is $26,695
66 percent of Americans earn less than $41,212.

What is this telling us?
That both spouses have to work
That the data is hiding the truth

But, why would our American Government and those Elected American Senators and Congressmen (includes females too) that we put into office be keeping the “real truth” from us???

First of all we have to look at the DATA and how this DATA is being used.

There are 3 ways in mathematics to explain AVERAGE... which may or may not make sense to you right now. But, these are the:
Mean
Median
Mode

The MEAN is just another word to mean AVERAGE... so, there is no misunderstanding there...
The MEDIAN is “that” number where “exactly” half the other number are above and/or below...
The MODE is the most frequently repeated number of all the numbers being use or analyzed...

So, the MEDIAN average is rather misleading or at least can be misleading; for example, lets look at several different levels of incomes that we have supposedly collected during some fictitious research project shall we... and, these incomes levels are:
$25,000
$26,000
$28,000
$30,000
$100,000
$500,000
$1,000,000
So, what we have here are individuals who are working at the same company and we have collected their total salaries that have been paid to the over the last several years (before taxes) and we are concluding and making a statement to our Board of Directors that we have been able to keep our labor costs down because a recent student show that our median income level was only $30,000.

And, the crowd stupidly applauds our success.

In reality, the company's average income is actually: $244,143

Now, let's suppose that we have this type of a situation with our data:
$25,000
$26,000
$28,000
$28,000
$30,000
$100,000
$500,000
$1,000,000
$1,500,000

We can clearly see that the median salary of $30,000 is still the same but we have another development and that is that we also have a mode of $28,000 (occurring twice) and since the mode and the median are different we can conclude that the result is somewhere in between the two numbers and can guesstimate a number of $29,000.

And, if we were to have presented these results our audience would have no doubt applauded our efforts once again.

In reality, the company's new average income is actually: $359,667

And, once again, America has “pulled the wool” over the eyes of Americans. And, can you imagine that this is being done over and over and over again... AND, has been done over and over and over again to ALL of us for years and years and years.

WE ARE REPEATING THE PAST

4 our of every 5 Americans are not aware of this... that is 75%.

I would have to say that most Americans live in a bubble of blissful ignorance, although, I would also suspect that the bubble is more like a cocoon than an actual bubble.

So, what is BLISS?
Bliss is an ecstatic feeling that you experience. Is it the same as an orgasm? Well that feeling is definitely based on the nervous system, and it is something that is wonderful to experience, but is very different to “the peace that knows no understanding” which is not based on the nervous system.
If you read a book called “My Baba and I” written by Dr. John Hislop, you might be interested to know that he was a long time Transcendental Meditation practitioner and he has this to say:
After several days of the 3 a.m.-to-bedtime meditation, waves of bliss started to sweep through me. They were so intense, I could hardly bear them. But, at the same time a devastating realization struck me —This sensation was being experienced in the nervous system of the body — it was not the Divine Bliss which the ancients have described as ‘that peace which passeth all understanding.’
However, I am not sure if our bubble/cocoon of blissful ignorance is exactly like this or even similar and I say this because I don't believe most Americans are SELF-AWARE of themselves, their actuions, or the ramifications of those actions as it impacts others because with that level of sophisticated awareness come responsibility and that trait I KNOW most Americans do not have, otherwise we would not be in the situation that we are presently in... NOR would we be REPEATING that situation over and over and over again.

But, let me tell you this... and, I will do this only if you can convince me that you are serious about it... If you really want to learn to be happy, I can send you 10 Easy Steps To Happiness to get you there... and believe this or not, there is going to be no charge to you... it is free... and, you can share it with others as often as you like.... Bear in mind that each of the 10 Easy Steps has a pretty little happy picture that goes along with it that you may use for guided inspiration...

However, this offer is limited and can only be made available to the first 100 Billion that contact me.

All kidding aside...
Americans must learn to do something different than they are currently doing if they, as a WHOLE, are going to be successful in the sense of perpetuation. Americans are really good at fornication, making babies, and increasing the population but are terrible with putting themselves into a position of acquiring education and knowledge, saving money instead of spending it for toys and treats, and letting politicians make false promises to them, and continuing to allow all these “wealthy” people to manipulate them.

Can you imagine how much “frigging” money our Government would save if it would stop helping other countries fight their wars? That money could be used on healthcare, education, and technology. And, on making sure that we had the best “BAD ASS” military in the world... so that if these other assholes tried to invade us in any way, shape, or form that we could and would terminate with prejudice... but, if they wanted to kill themselves, let them go for it....

Americans should learn to help themselves first before they can help others... and, this kind of advice is so simple and so obvious that it is used by ALL airline companies all over the world... before takeoff, the stewards/stewardesses address the passengers and tell them in the event that something happens, oxygen masks will fall down from the compartment above your head... and if you are traveling with a small child, put the oxygen mask around YOUR face first before you do so for your child... DUH!!!

The country that knows this better than any other country is CHINA.... and, this is exactly why one must learn to listen to one's elders because they have survived a long time for a reason...

Think about that shit for a moment before you swipe your credit card or vote for someone into office.
