POLITICS Democratic Nominee 2020 Lollapalooza

He can fix it. All he has to do is go away.

 

Whatever.

 

Oh, are we starting to care what people say now?

I thought it was just actions.

 

I just can't keep up with this electoral science, it's an ever growing and changing field, full of innovation.

 

I sure wish he would stop tweeting

 

So Bernie thinks people in China aren’t in poverty. The county with 1/3 of our median income.

He didn't say they aren't in poverty.

 

Really?

“they have made more progress in addressing extreme poverty than any country in the history of civilization. So they’ve done a lot of things for their people."

 

'addressing extreme poverty' is not equivalent to 'there is no poverty'.

That said, a Presidential hopeful looking up to much of China's domestic policies is a big no go for me.

 

more than any country in the history of the world certainly suggests they don't have much in the way of poverty. by american metrics most of their population is in poverty.

 

are you unironically proving your statement wrong?

 

so they haven't made more progress than anyone else with poverty or have?

 

they went from millions dying of starvation to the largest middle class in the world in less than a lifetime. they can still have a lot of poverty and have made a massive amount of progress.

 

their middle class would be considered in poverty if they lived in the united states.

 

Morristown's would be in LA. relative cost of living is a thing.

 

Well, the millions dying helped. Just sayin'.

 

out of well over a billion, how do you figure?

 

Supply and demand is still a factor in communist societies.

 

but they starved due to the autocratic communist regime creating a food shortage through inadequate agricultural work assignment, as I think you are getting at. why did that have to happen for there to be improvement on poverty? Quite the opposite: reforms after the Great Leap Forward towards some semblance of a market is what created the current growth in prosperity. the Great Leap Forward was a failure. there are more Chinese now than then.
