Hi, beautiful people!
Today we’ll talk about America again — a total cult, without which this planet probably wouldn’t even be able to spin like this. 🌍😁
You could shoot tons of episodes on America. Not just one.
It’s a truly wild country! Let’s be honest! 😂
And now we’ll break down some of that craziness. There’s plenty to pull from the magical American wizard’s hat, because America is basically a little bit of everything!
A country without a long historical tradition — which is exactly why it’s so PROUD of its short history...📜 That alone is an interesting paradox 👍😂
Look, America… It’s the land where everything is “bigger, better, faster — bigger, better, faster”… which, when you add it all up, means — JUST SUPER!🗽🇺🇸👍 😁
But you do need to know how to translate American English well. A lot gets lost between the lines.
For example, the phrase THE AMERICAN DREAM!
It’s a concept that has lured people ever since the Klondike days! You arrived poor, with patches on your pants, and if you dug up a chunk of gold — you changed your life!
From zero to hero! From zero and a poor nobody to a hero and a rich guy! And sometimes literally OVERNIGHT = overnight! 💰👏😀
But the Klondike gold rush shows the real America, because it wasn’t only the people who painfully dug in the ground who made money off that madness.
A short story:
“Have you found any gold yet?”
“No…”
“Then what are you still doing here?”
“I’m selling maps to the ones who believe they’ll find something...” 😁
The American dream has no limits. Whatever nonsense you come up with, you can monetize it.
But I have my own rule of the American dream. I interpret it like this:
“If there’s such a thing as an American BIG Dream, could someone please translate it for me, so I know how much that ‘BIG’ is going to cost.” 😄
And I’ve got one more small recommendation. Want an example of the American dream — Czech-style? That would be Radim Passer. A really interesting guy. A billionaire who strongly believes in God and built his success on that faith. He’s a developer, and he wrote his life story into several books.
They’re worth reading. Truly nice reading. Highly recommended.
Ok, let’s keep going! 💨✈️ 🗽🇺🇸
I love Americans’ one-liners. They really run on one-liners — and it doesn’t matter whether they’re true or not. Basically, whatever gets repeated becomes “the truth.”
For example, this:
“In America, fast food is not unhealthy!”
I agree — you’ll just run it off 👍 💨 🏃🧻🚾🚽😁
And what’s great is that in America there are no debts!
No, seriously. There are “loans,” and when you really can’t pay, they rename it romantically: Long-term relationship with the bank.💘🏦👬” 😁
Isn’t that beautiful?
No foreclosure — just a toxic relationship you’ll never leave. 👏😁
Another great line that I really love — and I kind of promote it.
Everywhere you hear: “Follow your dreams!”
So you go, you follow, things work out, you start a company, you buy a house — and then you find out your dreams are ultimately owned by a real-estate firm and three investment funds — BLACK ROCK, Vanguard, and State Street Global Advisors! Yeah, that’s the holy trinity that’s taken over almost the whole world by now! 😁
And now watch this — America tells you:
“You can buy ANYTHING!”
And it’s almost true.
A Tesla on lease 🚗, teeth on installments 😬💳, you can even put a dog on a credit card 🐕💳😂
But there are a few exceptions. :
“In America, you can buy anything.
Except peace.”
Peace there, buddy, is a luxury item.
You can maybe get it only as part of a package: “wellness weekend + meditation + an $800 smoothie.”
And even there, halfway through the session, your phone rings 😁
And one more example came to mind of when you suddenly calm down.
With a sheriff who pulls you over right after you cross into the next state 🚓.
Suddenly it’s quiet 🤐, you slow down 🛑…
and in your head you recap everything that isn’t exactly alright 👇 😂
If you want to understand the U.S. system + the CONSTITUTION, you go to university.
Because education is freedom, right?
Well…
“An American university will teach you a lot.
Mostly how to keep paying until retirement.”
You study for 5 years…
and then for another 30 years you study why it was such an expensive mistake. 😄
A diploma on the wall, and under it a small caption:
“This is why you still don’t have kids.”
And my favorite American advice:
“Be yourself!” 💪👍
Sounds great, very hippie.
But there’s fine print:
“Be yourself — but ideally like everyone else.” 😂
What does it mean? Be yourself…
…but have the right outfit, the right opinion, the right phone, and the right $15,000 smile. 😁
Sometimes it really looks like that. You look at American girls on the beach and… they’re all beautiful, but they look the same 😁
So yeah…
America is fascinating.
It’s a place where:
-
fast food isn’t unhealthy — you just end up running more — even if you don’t want to
-
debt isn’t debt, but a “serious financial relationship”
-
the American dream is beautiful, until your first installment on the loan to make it happen shows up
-
you can buy anything, just not peace
-
and university will teach you…
... how to pay smartly until retirement. 💸😂
Thanks, America — you teach the whole world how it shouldn’t be done, but I still love you... 🗽 🇺🇸 😁😂
God BLESS all good Americans 🇺🇸🤍, and love ❤️ and peace 🕊️🌍 for everyone! 🙏✨👏👏😀
