America is one of the, if not the, best country in the world. We have the highest standard of living for now, some of the most well educated for now, and people are fighting to join us for now. Looking at economic trends should strike a lot of fear into a lot of our citizens and what the future could be bringing. Over the past few years, we have all felt the crunch of inflation as the cost of goods and services have been going up while our wages remain mostly flat. This has been an ongoing trend for almost 100 years, and maybe more than. The American people slowly sacrificed to save more money, we have been buying a snake oil that the next elected official or government body is going to somehow fix our problems with a simple policy change but in the end everything tends to remain the same. The short answer, the honest answer, the hard truth is we need to fix this problem ourselves. There is no magic button that is going to fix everything. We need to be more accountable for how we spend our money, we need to invest our money to those who are interested in more than the bottom line and also interested in the long term impacts of helping the people and the business.

Looking over time we can see the trends that are concerning for the American people. We have some of the best technology, we can communicate better than ever, yet we are falling in our education system, our health system, the American dream is becoming more of a dream than a reality, retirement is a stretch for more and more people, we have no room for emergencies. This should be alarming to any of us with children. If this trend continues it is impossible to predict but probably that eventually the citizens will conclude that it is easier to go without than to sacrifice for the gains of giving 40 hours a week for 40 years of our lives. To have what, to have successfully not died? We have plenty of gadgets and technologies to distract us from our hardships and give us the moments to move forward, but how much longer can we feel the pinch. There's plenty of boomers barely getting by off the Social Security because they did not plan well enough and they went off the confidence that the system would continue to take care of them. As that ideology continued through generations (and from generations long before the boomers) that everything will take care of itself. We have lead ourselves into a problem that only we can fix. We need to unify, we need to come to terms with the fact that we cannot rely on anyone else to fix this, we need to take care of ourselves together.

I'm not out to solicit for donations yet. I am trying to use word of mouth marketing, I want to spread some good news: the answer is not easy but there is hope that we can fix this, we can make our country and our world better for everyone. It's not an easy fix, but it is an honest fix. Spread the good news, hop is here through unity. We need to invest in those that are sincerely interested in us. Businesses, elected official, anything and everything is a circle. If they are not reciprocating in you, do not invest in them. Spread the good news, hope is here.
