    Lessons from Africa

    Stossel interviews Magatte Wade, an African entrepreneur, who says the biggest reason is so poor from her own first-hand experience: it’s crushing government regulation.

    Yeah that's it. Nothing to do with constant war, slime warlords, rape of the land, the people being turned away from the foods and strategies that worked there or over population. Nothing to see here, just too much regulation. LOL

    The Wheel of Misfortune – Russia Takes Advantage of US ...

    https://moroccoonthemove.com/2017/11/20/wheel-misfortune-russia-takes-advantage-us...
    Nov 20, 2017 · North Africa should not be Russia’s for the taking. The US has invested decades of efforts in supporting the development of these societies. Many individuals within these countries’ public and private sector leadership have taken advantage of US exchange and educational programs and have an inclination to support closer ties.

    You sometimes talk as though the whole world are just Russian, American and possibly Chinese states. Spoiler alert, they aren't.

    Actually, that is a large part of it. Huge, bloated and self-serving bureaucracies retard development in Africa. Now it's cute that you think Africans should still be hunting and gathering (nothing racist there...lol) but that has that air of unreality most of your ideals have.
    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

    "Huge, bloated and self-serving bureaucracies" is probably a better explanation than just overregulation.

    I listened to the video. I think that's what they're really talking about. There is a lot of corruption, bribery etc.

    But then you were complaining last time about what I said about Iran. Imagine that. Consistency isn't one of your strong points, huh?

    African governments are the most corrupt on the planet. African soccer is the most corrupt in FIFA. I hate hyenas.

    THE END.
