So their populations will have an excuse to break into America to rape and pillage. The Gringos don’t care if the illegals are going to steal steal them blind for “a better life” in the Land of the Big Free Stuff Piñata.

--- "Why Do The Poor Countries Always Stay So Poor?"

Government corruption, camouflaged by ideological trappings.

I read a story about a fellow in Senegal who was a highly motivated entrepreneur. He was western educated and knew that his hometown could use a store a bit like Walmart, smaller of course but offering everything from groceries to hardware. He got financing and opened up shop. He failed within six months.

He ran afoul of a cultural norm he should have expected. Among the Senegalese, property anyone in your family has is expected to be shared. His “family” including third, fourth and fifth cousins simply carted his inventory away. The authorities considered such appropriation to be a family matter.

There seems to be no way to operate a business in Senegal unless one is an outsider or an orphan.

It’s called The Bell Curve and it’s real.

Lack of leadership... Lack of desire to become more...

Look at the ghetto as an example of the desire to become a poor country. No paint on the house but a Cadillac in the driveway... Smokin a ciggarello and looking around to see who is noticing them...

what is necessary and sufficient for the birth of plenty?

"The Birth of Plenty" is a term often associated with economic historian William J. Bernstein's book "The Birth of Plenty: How the Prosperity of the Modern World was Created." In this book, Bernstein argues that four key factors are necessary and sufficient for the emergence of widespread prosperity and economic growth. These factors are often referred to as the "Four Pillars of Prosperity." They are:

Property Rights: Secure and well-defined property rights are essential for economic growth. When individuals and businesses have confidence that their property (including land, assets, and intellectual property) will be protected from theft and expropriation, they are more likely to invest and innovate.

Scientific Rationalism: A culture that values and promotes scientific inquiry and rational thinking is critical for technological progress. This includes support for education, research, and the application of scientific knowledge to solve practical problems.

Capital Markets: Efficient and accessible capital markets enable individuals and businesses to access funding for investment and entrepreneurship. Well-functioning financial institutions, such as banks and stock markets, are crucial for allocating capital to its most productive uses.

Transportation and Communication: Effective transportation and communication networks facilitate the movement of goods, people, and information. Modern infrastructure, including roads, ports, railways, and the internet, plays a vital role in connecting markets and promoting economic growth.

Bernstein argues that these four pillars are necessary and sufficient because they create an environment conducive to economic development and innovation. When these conditions are met, economies tend to flourish and experience what he calls "The Birth of Plenty."

Because people like Bill and Hillary collect billions to give to poor nations and then abscond with the funds. It’s the ‘big secret’ behind foreign aid - our tax dollars are supposedly sent to secure clean drinking water or food etc. and then it either never leaves the US (divided among Deep Staters) or fans out to oligarchs all over the world.

Year after year - the same pleas for the villagers to have clean drinking water...

Why do poor countries always stay so poor???? Because of the graft and corruption that is now happening in the US political system. With signs that it is only going to get worse. This is what happens when a country kicks THE GOD OF CREATION OUT.

If you are actually interested in the answer you could read, "Eat the Rich" by P. J. O’Rourke or "Basic Economics" by Thomas Sowell.

Race culture politics

Chicken egg

What’s downstream of what

Whites basically via Christianity culture and populations pressure and resource coveting and trade conquered or civilized the world more than anyone else

Folks used to understand this

Now we’re blamed for it even as they still depend on us

You can argue the whys forever but to any empirical observer you can see which groups have outperformed others even sub groups in the groups

The NWO types wish to erase all this with themselves as elite overlords

The dacha class

I heard Thomas Sowell say yesterday pretty much

“Human nature would prefer poverty and equal over some doing better than you”

Good performing groups have certain characteristics

Emphasis on family like where I live

Why Do The Poor Countries Always Stay So Poor?

Corruption recall for years the tons of food and supplies the U.S. sent to 3rd work countries and it all ended up in warehouses by the leaders and it’s still going on.

Kickbacks is a long term game plan.

Poor countries remain poor for the same reason that corrupt and incompetent leaders of companies go bankrupt.

Haiti has been an independent nation since 1804, over 200 years. They started out as a s— hole, and they have remained a s— hole for all that time. What does Haiti have in common with sub-Saharan Africa?

Discuss among yourselves.
