“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.
