Sheesh. And I put the Matrix DVD on pause for a few minutes for again, a string of balderdash. It’s quite fitting I paused it just as Morpheus said “[The Matrix] is the world that has been pulled over your eyes, to blind you from the truth.”
Come to think of it, it’s the seventh time she strutted her stuff in front of Congress (and live TV) to feel oh-so-smug and revel in her “accomplishments.” Why not? There’s all the goodwill, progress, and grace that her reign has bestowed upon citizens of our great nation to be happy about. Hehehehuuurk…
Oh sure, talk about being first world in twenty years. Hey, why not? If that happens, I might create an offshore business elsewhere and force third-world kids to work in my sweatshops tailoring my branded designer jockstraps. Or possibly gene-splice the whale’s ambergris-producing DNA to them third-world kids, breed them, and sell their produce to France.
But flush out your head gear, and simply look around? What’s with the real state of the nation? People are still starving, kids are going from dumb to dumber, critical loudmouths will get shot, pollution levels will rise, and we’ll all die from global warming. Or from hunger. Or from Killer Tomatoes.
The United States raised their minimum wage to $5.85 per hour. Over here that’s just about a bit larger than what a manager of an SMO would get even with the rise of the Peso. Poverty level over there is $10,210. That’s about Php 459,450 a year. Earning that amount here lands you in the middle class. Amazing, I tell you. That’s about what I’d earn for a good number of years from my salary provided that I won’t pay my taxes. But I do.
Jeez. You could just hope that one day, you’d wake up and things will get better.
So, what na?
