....sliding from “civilization to barbarity”......

That is certainly true in Mexico as the cartels take over more and more of that country. And Biden’s America is right behind them.

with U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres listening...saying: “Nothing really substantial has been done to benefit the poor in the history of this organization.”
Same applies to the gov't of Mexico, and any of Mexico's political parties.

Add to the list:

Carlos Slim Helu - $78 billion...

https://www.forbes.com/profile/carlos-slim-helu/?sh=38515227646b

fluctuates, but for a while, Carlos Slim was number 1 or 2 on any given day...then the US “tech” billionaires outran him.

How is it that one of the poorest countries on the planet features one of the richest men?

Callate la boca puto. Mexico is the richest country in Latin America.

Feed the worlds poor yourself.

As an American and a tax payer I’m sick of being the worlds ATM.

“improve life for the 750 million people now existing on less than $2 dollars a day”

So to even give them all $1 a day more, for 365 days a year, would cost nearly 274 billion dollars a year.

Where exactly does El Presidente think we can magic up the trillions and trillions it would take to actually raise them out of poverty?

The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people’s money.
Margaret Thatcher

Do you know that one of the great problems of our age is that we are governed by people who care more about feelings than they do about thoughts and ideas.
Margaret Thatcher

I think we’ve been through a period where too many people have been given to understand that if they have a problem, it’s the government’s job to cope with it. ‘I have a problem, I’ll get a grant.’ ‘I’m homeless, the government must house me.’ They’re casting their problem on society. And, you know, there is no such thing as society. There are individual men and women, and there are families. And no government can do anything except through people, and people must look to themselves first. It’s our duty to look after ourselves and then, also to look after our neighbour. People have got the entitlements too much in mind, without the obligations. There’s no such thing as entitlement, unless someone has first met an obligation.
Margaret Thatcher

Even if you confiscated every dollar from every one of them, it wouldn’t make a significant difference when distributed to 750 million people.

But then again, math is racist.

True “leaders” don’t play victim and whine for handouts.
