Revolution Index

Yearly Cost of Food ÷ Median Yearly Income = Revolution Index

The higher this percentage becomes, the greater the chance of revolution. Arguably this is what brought Egypt down.

Rate of U.S. Economic Decline

Investment dollars spent on social media businesses ÷ Investment dollars spent on alternative energy = Rate of U.S. Economic Decline

The higher this number, the more rapid the U.S. decline. Alternative energy is more important than social media (I would argue)

Rate of U.S. Decline

Number of smart phones in third world countries ÷ Number of smart phones in U.S. = Rate of U.S. Decline

Smart phone usage is a rough measure of whether other societies are outpacing us

American Geographic Conformity

Number of U.S. Starbucks ÷ No. of U.S. Independent Bookshops = Rate of American Geographic Conformity

The higher this number, the more geographically uniform the U.S. becomes

Coffee Bean Economic Index

Price of Starbucks Latte ÷ Price of cup of Folgers = Coffee Bean Economic Index

The higher this number, the better a society is doing economically

Societal Absurdity Index

Earned Income of Paris Hilton ÷ Minimum Wage = Societal Absurdity Index

The higher this number goes, the more absurd society is becoming
