HOW AMERICANS ARE PLAYED I 2a
LIFE IS A GAME OF CONNECT THE DOTS, IF YOU DON'T CONNECT ALL THE DOTS OR DON'T CONNECT THEM IN THE RIGHT ORDER YOU NEVER GET THE PICTURE
HOW AMERICANS ARE PLAYED I 2a
Obviously, we are a very smart people, atleast we like to think so.
There is in old Jackie Chan movie called "Rush hour" where Chris Tucker asks Jackie "do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth". Well do we? Do we even understand the words that come out of our own mouths?
We have stories about America, or should I say "myths", we make statements that are totally opposite of eachother and we claim that bothsides are true. Actually, I don't think that we even realize that we are making contradictory claims.
So we say we are a smart people, are we? Do we really believe it? How? I mean we go about all day complaining about how dumb every other person that we deal with is! From our bosses to our clerks, the people at any office, the people that answer at call centers, the fast food workers, the store help, the servers at the restaurants and so on. Our day passes dealing with "stupid" ( your definition) and yet we claim that we are a nation of smart people, I don't know, what do you think?
Then there is the idea of the "hard working Americans" usually the term is used by the politicians at all levels, where are they though? Who are those hard working Americans?
We lie to ourselves and we believe all the lies we are told, that is not smart, is it? Ask any boss, any manager at the local Dollar store, and construction supervisor, they will tell you how difficult it is to find good workers, but we like being lied to, politicians know we like to be told lies, we are a nation of heroes, unsung and otherwise, trust me no one in our country is "worthless", but!
We call some of our workers "essential" meaning that without these workers the economy will stall, come to a halt, and then ask the politicians " should these workers get a rise in the minimum wage" and see what happens. Ask the Ron DeSantis, ask Abbott, no!
What are we? Who are we? We don't even know ourselves, we don't even understand the words that are coming out of our mouths!
It is late, I will continue with this part again soon.
