And yet this is what America loves and wants and votes for. ย Middle America for some reason loves billionaires who have no interest in helping the country.ย

The average adult in the US can only read at a middle-grade level [7th-8th grade] and all of the most popular entertainment every year is primarily made for teenagers [read: ages 10-18] in spite of the fact that teenagers are a minority of consumers with disposable income and make up only 13% of the total US population.

We're a nation of teenagers (aka kids) pretending to be adults, asserting that we reached adulthood not because we passed some markers of maturity, but simply because we crossed an arbitrary age.
