it means your greedy. judge a man by what percentage of his wealth he donates not how much.

Pick and choose, little commie. LOL

“The US, unsurprisingly, comes top when looking at total spend. Last year, it gave over $30 billion either as bilateral aid or through international organizations such as the World Bank or UN.

Germany is second, with over $20 billion of ODA last year. This constitutes an increase of over $4 billion compared to 2014.

The list is dominated by European nations, but the UAE, Canada and Japan also feature.

A very different picture emerges, though, if we consider it as a percentage of gross national income.”


thats irrelevant and you dont do that either. in addition you spend hte most on war.

yea this is bad economics. when a person donates, you dont judge it based on their wealth, its based on what percent of the money they have. rich :censored2:s like to do this and it looks like a big amount but it always works out to nothing.

isnt it amazing. youre 4th on GDP spending on military, yet last on forgien donations. you are 1st on forgien donations as your graph says and also first on military.

by protesting they are by default rebuilding their cities. the cities were trashed before they destroying anything anyways; decades of privatization, govt cutting budgets, and globalization has left US cities looking like war zones.
I've been all over the U.S. With the possible exception of Detroit, only certain neighborhoods could be described that way, not whole cities.

whole sections of the US have been deindustrialized. what did you think 2016 was about? the economy is radically different than it was after wwII.

Yeah, if you’re a commie :censored2:. If Jeff Bezos or Bill Gates were to donate half a billion to a good cause your bratty ass would say it’s not much because the amount isn’t the proper percentage of their assets. What a tool.

As if the Soviet Union was a democracy. Russia is an autocracy with sham elections. Try to keep up.
never said it was. neither is america. but your actions can give you more or less democracy. doesnt mean you have it either way. state capitalism which many americans foolishly call communism, destroyed the democratic worker councils.

these were well paid jobs that you didnt need a college education for. a man could support his family with them (housing was much cheaper then relative to incomes)

On that we agree. But you have a tendency to make blanket statements. The U.S. still has factories, but most are much more specialized and don't employ as many workers. And automation has taken a lot of jobs too.
