       Living simply and simply living.  Do you have some rice to
       spare?

       He knew what he was going to say before he started walking as
       you will see from the extra vids that are spliced into his
       stream.  It was planned, and worth watching all the way through.
       
       The American Dream was invented to benefit the rich  It puts
       everyone else in debt.  Destroying the planet in the process.
       I don't agree that once you give the middle finger to the dream
       you can just go back to it if you want to.  Not that it matters.
       We are all gonna die.

       The American Dream is on a Ventilator.  One of the low bid ones
       Trump bought.

       The Amerikan Dream...A house with a white picket fence and 2
       carz in every garage.  Vacation every year in Hawaii.
       Retirement on a golf course in Florida.  Everybody can be rich.
       They forgot to mention the Mortgage, the Car Loans, the
       Insurance, the Medical and Dental bills, the Taxes and the
       boring job with the asshole boss.
       The AD was propagandized non-stop on TV after the end of WWII in
       commercials and TV shows like Beverly Hills 90210 and Lifestyles
       of the Rich & Famous.
       When was Peak AD?  Sometime in the 1980s IMHO.  It plateaued in
       the 90s and has been steadily fading since the turn of the
       millenium.
       I do not agree that "we're all gonna die" at least in the Near
       Term. Many will die, but probably not all.
       So, if you want to live, you need a NEW dream!  Greta Thunberg
       has a dream.  It probably won't work to save everyone, but it
       might work to save Greta. lol.

       We need [shadow=gray,left]ADAS[/shadow].  American Dream
       Achievement Score.  I figure mine is about 0.70
       Anybody with enough savings to pay for food shelter and medical
       care (insurance premiums) for life or more is at 100%.
       I like the dude in the video.  I picked it, but he chose the
       easy way to avoid American Dream Entrapment.
       [shadow=gray,left]ADE[/shadow].  Stay single.  Having a family
       makes avoidance more difficult.
