Media, sensationalism and earnings

MEDIA and Earnings

Media sensationalizes and LIES about how much certain people make all the time, thus deceiving millions of people. At least in Europe, you don't get this constant barrage of stories about tech billionaires/rap millionaires/actors/etc

The truth is, 99.9% of those people are POOR. Yet all these stories make millions of people go into those professions thinking they are going to be rich, thus taking resources away from other things they could be doing!

Suicide mainly caused by psychological comparison of yourself to people around you

Suicide is mainly caused not by how you feel inside, but by COMPARISON of yourself to other people.

in reality, people feel better when they are surrounded by people perceived to be SAD and UNHAPPY

Therefore, if you are feeling SAD, go to an area where people are sad/poor and you'll feel better.

America's Junk Food Problem

America has a huge junk food problem. Sometimes I let myself slip and get Subway/Jack in the Box/Popeyes. I get stomach aches like 75% of the time from it.

Yet, I am pretty sure about 80% of US eats there daily. It's literally hard not to, since when you are hungry, that's ALL you see, for example, here in Hesperia. This city looks just like a typical american city and is littered with junk food. I don't know how people even FUNCTION when they eat there regularly, and yet the majority of Americans do.

If you go to Europe, you just see a bunch of small cafes with quality food.
