The Avid Reader (and enjoyer of all subjects)

I’m guessing that the average reader won’t know the definition of “outsourcing”, so for those of you that don’t, “outsourcing” is when a company recruits people from an indigent country to do work.  Why?  These people won’t demand as much money as Americans will, being that their lifestyles are much better than those of the foreigners.

Outsourcing all relates back to the previous post about the root of all evil, money.  Once a person knows what money is, they have a natural crave for it.  These people grow up to be businessmen (who are part of a major/minor company) and consumers.  The businessman’s boss, then, will think like a regular human will–save money in this economic crisis for other purposes, like online advertising or some other, more effective way!  The businesses are the main ones to blame for outsourcing–that is, in America.  If they won’t employ Americans because Americans are the ones who expect more income, and they choose to employ other people from other countries who are so satisfied with $1.50 a day, then OUR UNEMPLOYMENT RATE WILL NEVER FALL BACK to its normal rate!  More people are going to get OUT of work because some companies don’t want them anymore, and less people are going to find a job because foreigners are taking all the spots! 

But it’s not totally the businesses’ faults.  Consumers always follow two options:  either (a) spend most of your money on opulent items, or (b) save your money for better deals.  Unfortunately for the companies, the economic recession is forcing most people to be following option (b), because the consumers don’t WANT $80 GAP shirts (Samuel ).  Since companies still have to allot some of their income to ADVERTISING, both on televisions and computers (advertising here hurts, not helps), and they aren’t getting a good amount of money, they will have less money to pay for the employers.  That means LESS EMPLOYERS.  And companies do not want themselves to fail!  Their likelihood of failing will go down if they recruit more employers, so each employer has to receive less money.  But employers don’t like that!  They want MORE money.  Therefore, companies have no choice but to recruit foreigners, who are paid less.

Outsourcing is a growing problem-source of (for) unemployment, and both companies and consumers need to improve.  To improve, however, they just need to fix one little thing–getting rid of their wishes for profuse money.

If I was to ask the average teenager what two things they value most, they would definitely say, “My computer/laptop and my video game set.”  Well, that’s not an astute decision.  If you didn’t have money, you wouldn’t be able to possess these unrequired items.   

A few key topics:

Money is necessary for survival.  If you don’t have money, you can’t buy food or water, and then you’ll perish.  Money gets you everything you can name in your house, too, and of course you would want to keep all of those items.  

(Profuse amounts of) money makes you magnanimous–in other words, money is power.  The sole reason for immigration to America?  Jobs and prosperity here.  At that time, America was flourishing quicker than any other country, and it had become a world power.  Even now, in the present when America finds no easy route out of the Iraqi War and when America’s growth rate has fallen behind China’s, everybody regards Americans of the finest blood.  (James said that people in Australia highly regarded him.)  Many famous businessmen, politicians, and tycoons like Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Donald Trump, and Michael Bloomberg are in the highest ”caste” of America, because of a profusion of money.

Money is valuable–don’t squander it.  Money is the second most important thing necessary for living, behind life itself.  Though you may protest if your parents don’t give you a present for your birthday, some kids around the world are used to that.  Some kids are used to living in a five-square-foot area begging for a morsel of food every day.  Therefore, if they had $100 to spend, they would get something they’d need, whereas if you were to get $100, you would squander it on exorbitant electronics. 

Remember the new word from the last post about life, hedonism?  Hedonism also ties to the concept of money.  Many hedonists party their money away and wind up as beggars on the streets after they stop making more money.  Hedonism is an obvious way of dissipativity.  An even more overt way is using money on drugs, alcohol, and cigarette packs.  Besides being a prodigality, drug use chips away at victims’ lives, disenabling them to do what was once a tradition for them.

Nowadays, as inflation takes over most of the world’s markets, the U.S. Dollar is showing its ultimate problem–decreasing in value until it could fade away. 

All humans have been blessed with the gift of life.  In life, we can move, we can be active, and we can express our thoughts and feelings to the world.  And in life, we can accomplish many things that we want.

The first stages of life are wonderful.  As an infant, you have all the attention of your family.  Whenever your family is in trouble, the first member they try to rescue is you.  You can get whatever you want simply by crying–something you are very skilled at–as long as your family members can perceive your thoughts.  You have several toys to play with.  You have food and drink.  As a toddler, you become fascinated with objects such as rag dolls or toy choo-choo trains.  Your parents will still center their care on you.  They will buy all sorts of toys that you pine for.  You learn how to read, how to write, how to count, and how to speak, and therefore you learn how to communicate with the outer world that once was completely new to you as an infant.  You can watch television and understand for the first time in your life what the big red dog is saying, or why the cat is chasing the mouse. 

After your toddler stage, you become a “kid”.  You go to preschool, kindergarten, and grade school, where you can learn many techniques.  Your brain is steadily developing, and you gain knowledge.  You can read more complicated books and imagine.  The power of being a kid–and not an adult–is imagination; while adults tell monotonous stories about how the quintessential schoolchild gets “A+”s for every assessment, children rant on wildly of the malicious dragon swallowing the king, and how the prince forces it to regurgitate the king, and how the prince marries the princess.  And imagination can only happen with life.

You progress to your adolescence stage.  In this stage of your life, you become independent from your family, which once loved you and adored you so much, and you rely on your peers’ decisions more than your family’s.  Peer pressure takes over your life, whether it’s competing in the MathCounts competition (94qm?   ) or just wearing the same clothes as the crowd.  At this point, a few people choose to end their lives by committing suicide.  Life is the most precious thing they have, and by taking their life away they have just resigned their one most valuable possession.   

After college, you become an adult in your ways of thinking.  Now, you can be a parent.  You have more trouble memorizing.  You have a career and can earn money for your family.  You can have things that, when you were young, you couldn’t possess, such as a new BMW or a $700,000 mansion.  It’s best to value life, but when you are buying nonessential products, you are going beyond your limit.  This is called <em> hedonism </em>.  Eventually, you will regret your decision of hedonism.  You will grow old after a few decades.  You skin will wrinkle and your hair will whiten.  There’s no way stopping it.  Breathing oxygen (inhaling) results in this.  In your 70s or 80s, your life will end.  Right when you are laying on your deathbed, you reflect on your wonderful life.  You have done everything that you wanted to do.  All your wishes have been fulfilled.  Then, you pass away peacefully.

 Modern science is doing many phenomenal 21st century things that could not have been done before, and one of these things is reviving heart-attack victims from the dead.  After their heart stops, they are unconscious, but not dead-dead.  Their fatality rate is 95%, and if their condition is not treated within five minutes they die.  REVIVING DEAD HEART-ATTACK VICTIMS, you practically scream.  You could continue your life!  But that’s another story.
