From rags to riches - Third World США

[matrixmann]

The country all look up to: Health insurance and still you've got to pay yourself for your doctors, DocMobil to travel the rural lands like Doctors Without Borders in crisis areas, millions dependent on food stamps, family structures like in third world countries - get many kids to rise the probability that one will be able to care for you when you grow old or sick; don't break with wealthy relatives of yours as they can offer you financial help or a roof above your head -, and working your ass off 'til old age 'til you die 'cause pension doesn't exist, no matter the state of your health.
This is the country that people worldwide crave to live in, citing its huge freedoms and doing whatever you want what you can't do in your home country. This is the country that people brag they can find their fortune in and unbelievable riches, like it's still the 18th or 19th century.

I won't say "not able to understand things", but often I have the impression like people are so caught up in their narrow worlds - you have your hard time getting them out of it and getting them to think a little step further. Also, they're so caught up in existing terms and putting ideas, attitudes and people into these known drawers, they're like literally blind to understand, first, there are more categories than popular culture propagates, and, second, they've got way more different features summoned in them than what they current categories offer them to sort in.
Literally... it would need for zeitgeist mindset that someone or some group appears on the screen again which turns all these images of what exists upside down, so that people get back again to a dimension of thinking... more "dynamically", as I call it.
