Connecting the Dots

Current dumpster fire that is called the American education system

As I have previously observed as the Coffee Kiosk Economist when I see the lines inside and outside of such places as Starbucks and other craft coffee kiosks willing to pay an average of $80.00 a gallon for specialty coffee, I believe that this graphically demonstrates that there is no affordability problem in America. In the last decade, a whole new industry has developed around home delivery of restaurant and fast food, and that too, demonstrates that America doesn’t have an affordability problem. When Americans are willing to pay an average of $9.60 per gallon for bottled water, that’s not an affordability problem either. When the same people who whine about affordability are demanding a $20.00 per hour minimum wage, affordability is not the problem.

The real problem in America has a stupid population that can’t connect the dots. To be kinder, an ignorant population that was taught what to think and not how to think in the current dumpster fire that is called the American education system.

Let’s look first at the minimum wage fallacy. For an employer that doesn’t have a health care plan, a $20.00 per hour wage actually cost the employer $21.53, and as high as $25.12 per hour with a health plan. Historically, if a fast-food employee wanted to buy a basic meal (without employee discount), they could expect to pay one hour’s salary. Then, of course that’s what the public would pay. If you have been paying attention, you have noticed how much fast-food prices have increased the last few years as wages have increased. That’s what minimum hourly wage laws cost you and me. So, connecting the dots means higher wages drives higher cost for a product or service.

The shameful part is that too many “conservatives” are buying into the socialist propaganda 

Without the ability to think and assess situations, those people in the lost education generations are unable to connect the dots when they are making bad decisions. These generations whine about not being able to afford a house as they waste their money on expensive water, coffee, fancy shoes, smart-phones, and other unnecessary luxury items. The “communists” who have been controlling our education system for the last 50 years have convinced them that they are victims entitled to things they have not earned. These folks cannot connect the dots because they don’t even know that there are dots.

The shameful part is that too many “conservatives” are buying into the socialist propaganda pumped out by the mainstream media about affordability. They should know better and simply connect the dots.

Things cost what they cost today because of stupid socialist Democrat policies. Such as trying to kill fossil fuels and the vehicles that run on it and kill the fossil fuels that heat our homes and run our power plants. Another failure to connect the dots.

Good heavens, President Trump and MAGA Republicans have given all Americans the lowest crime rates in decades, the highest employment rate in history, the lowest unemployment rate in history, the most investment in America ever, and safer borders, yet people, even Republicans, still cannot connect the dots.

America doesn’t have an affordability problem; it has an education problem, especially when it comes to understanding economics.
