Life Could Be Better in Your Country

Your country is run by politicians.

And yes, many of you get to vote for who holds office.

But it makes no difference.

All parties and all politicians are pretty much the same.

They put their wants ahead of your best interests.

Every time; all the time.

And even if they did not, it would still make no difference.

Politicians have only one skill:  how to get elected; promote, manipulate and fool(https://newsandcommentary7.wordpress.com/2017/04/26/promote-manipulate-and-fool/).

Lying, cheating and stealing is their game.

All politicians have

—  no management skills(are incompetent)

—  no idea of how to make life better in your country

Everything in your country could be better.

Everything!

So easy.

Is This Your Life?

FOUND ON THE INTERNET

You wake up.  For one brief moment, after you rub the sleepiness from your eyes, you smile at the thought of a new day.

But then reality hits you.  Your mind jumps from worry to worry.  There are bills to pay, deadlines to meet, and conflicts to solve.  Suddenly, you feel like the day has already spun out of control, even though you haven’t climbed out of bed yet.

Ten minutes later (you hit the snooze button), you start a battle against the clock that you never seem to win.  The race won’t end until you slump into bed (forty-five minutes later than planned, of course) that night.

After you get up, you start going through the motions: get in the car, you endure the commute that gnaws at your soul, then you get to work and try to tackle the most important matters. But time vampires and busy work consume your day.

Fueled by caffeine you make it to lunch, where things only get worse as you inhale a meal of sugar, salt and fat at your desk.

Time seems to simultaneously speed up and slow down each afternoon.  Your co-worker’s problems comically become your three-alarm emergencies while irrelevant meetings drag on forever. Time literally seems to stall when you check the clock in anticipation of returning to the sanctuary of your home.

Doesn’t it seem like there just isn’t enough of anything in your day?  Time. Money. Energy. Love.

Frustration weighs on you.  It gets worse as the day goes on and piles up during the week.  Even your beloved weekends barely give you reprieve.  Instead, you struggle to use your time off to catch up menial errands as you try to keep your head above water.

Is this your life?

It wasn’t supposed to be like this, was it?

We plan. God laughs.

We all start out young and hopeful, but who among us has really achieved their dreams?

Why do people fail?

Why do people get distracted?

Why do people get off track?

The good news is our blogs CAN help.

Politicians and the government will continue to make it worse and provide no relief.

Your choice.

Problems Everywhere — None Solved

The facts no one wants to read.

Comments and referrals to this blog would be greatly appreciated.

Good Solutions Are Not Popular

It is an evil that plagues the world.

This lack of popularity of good solutions comes from:

—  stupidity

—  selfishness

—  ego

—  false pride

—  stubbornness

People’s character defects.

Just like a child that refuses to  tie his shoe laces and keeps tripping over them.

Want a better life?

Go with the good solutions.

Problems Are Systems

In working to solve problems, people overlook the interconnectedness of problems/issues.

They go strictly for direct solutions; forgetting about other situations having an affect on the problem.

Working directly on the problem itself, they ignore possible changes/improvements that would seem unrelated.

Bigger problems means more complex interactions.

Life is not simple.

Neither is problem solving.

Mass Delusions

Mass Delusion:  when a large number of people believe something that is not true/reality.

They will conveniently ignore evidence that they find inconvenient.

Mass delusions are everywhere.

These people are STUPID.

They live in a dream world; always expecting a magic fairy to solve everything.

Since so many people believe in these false realities, it is hard to dispel the delusions.

This makes it very difficult to solve problems or resolve issues.

These people are a big part of any problem.

They are no different than an enemy you are fighting.

10 Critical Imperatives Facing U.S. Cities

The National League of Cities (NLC) today a report that identifies “The 10 Critical Imperatives Facing America’s Cities”.

The National League of Cities, representing cities and local leaders, leveraged guidance from city leaders across the nation to identify the 10 imperatives:

1)  Fragile Fiscal Health  —  Budget

2)  Deteriorating Transportation Infrastructure

3)  Shrinking Middle Class

4)  Inadequate Access to Higher Education

5)  Need for Affordable Housing

6)  Less-Than-Welcoming Return for Veterans

7)  Gang Violence

8)  Broken Immigration System

9)  Climate Change and Extreme Weather

10)  Lack of Public Trust in Government

Their solutions to these issues is simple:  raise taxes and spend more money.

They do not exactly say this, but they want to add and expand programs for everything.

These are the same programs that have not worked in the past and will not work in the future.

How has anything changed?

Government(the politicians) believe the answer to  any and all problems is to spend more money on it.

Trouble is, this never works, so they get to spend even more money.  And the cycle repeats over and over again.

No problems are solved.

Government gets bigger.

Politicians get richer and more powerful.

Just spending money on a problem is NEVER the answer/solution.

Intelligence guided by history will solve problems.

Refusing To Change

Human beings are incredibly resistant to change.

Inertia is extremely powerful. Regardless of their situation, people eventually become accustomed to it and no one wants to rock the boat too much.

People only accept change when they are faced with necessity, and only recognize necessity when a crisis is upon them.”
But Isaac Newton told us that when force greater enough to overcome inertia is applied, the inevitable result is—change.

When people reach their breaking point, they demand things to change.

Three rules for change:

—  Change for sake of change is stupid.

—  Without change, there can be no improvement.

—  No problem will solved without change.

Refuse to change and things will not improve.

REALITY AND TRUTH

Reality is nothing more than the truth.

FACTS!

Not opinion(s).

Robert Ringer wrote:

Baltasar Gracian, the insightful and pragmatic 17^th century Jesuit priest, cautioned, “Truth is abhorred by the masses.”  Instead, they try to make true that which they love — a self-delusive practice that virtually guarantees frustration and failure.

Unfortunately, most people live in an unreal world; i.e., they create a world in their own minds based on the way they would like it to be rather than the way it actually is.  They seem to have adopted the philosophy of humorist/author Ashleigh Brilliant, who once remarked, “I have abandoned the search for truth, and am now looking for a good fantasy.”

END

This is a major cause of problems in the world:

  —  People wanting fantasies, things that will never come true.

  —  People thinking that their “opinions” are reality, but are just drivel(stupid thoughts).

  —  Individuals’ fixation on what they want; what they want is NOT important except to them.

  —  The public believing that society recognized leaders will do the world any good: politicians, government officials, international organization officials(UN, IMF, Catholic Church), athletes, entertainers, and even religious leaders.

So, forget what you want to hear and listen for cold, hard, sharp, nasty truths.

Using intellegience(in very short supply) to analyze FACTS solves problems(which improves the world and your quality of life).

Look for intelligent, honorable managers to be in charge.

The Problem Is — YOU!

YES, YOU!

What?

You want everything YOUR way; even if it causes more problems(and solves none).

The world is in a mess; so YOUR way is not working.

The world does not work the way anyone wants it to work;  the world works on the basis of facts and how the facts inter-relate.  Forget your fuzzy thinking.

Nor is the world concerned with fairness and/or equality(or any kind of rights).

In fact, the people in the world do NOT care about you, or what happens to you.

It is your responsibility to take care of yourself and your family.

You can rely on no one:  politicians, economists, government, etc.

The truth is everybody is out to use you for what they want.

Learn to really think for yourself.

Our blogs can help you, but you must read them with an open mind; forget the silliness clogging your brain.
