Alabama has the worst poverty in the developed world, U.N. official says

The cause is evident: If you want poverty, vote for Democrats. If you want prosperity, vote for Republicans.

Ps: sorry i forgot, you guys dont beleive in facts, science or polls.

We do believe in facts. And the fact that it's the voters choose who they want to represent them, as in the case of Donald Trump.

Which of course the facts don't support.

However, the best bet would be to get rid of both the main two parties' monopoly on power, then the people can run the govt again, instead of the Koch brothers.

Sorry. Bernie won't likely be running again this time. Neither will Jill Stain.

I don't understand what you're getting at. Either you can't read or you're trying to claim I'm a Socialist or something.

I don't understand what you're getting at. Either you can't read or you're trying to claim I'm a Socialist or something.

Let's see:

1. Two party system is "evil". Therefore you're a right-wing libertarian AKA Ron Paul, Gary Johnson, etc., or a left-wing socialist AKA Bernie Sanders, Jill Stein, etc.

2. You stated your hatred for the Koch Brothers which rules out the first part of number 1.

3. Or the third possibility, you were a Hillary supporter but are so embarrassed by her incompetent campaign, you lost faith in the Democrat Party.

Amirite?

I wonder if the good people in "rural" Alabama were aware that their living conditions are monitored and investigated by the U.N. for "environmental degradation"? Were the good people of Butler County aware that president Hussein invited an international delegation? I wonder if they appreciated Blue Grass music? Probably not. Did U..N investigators try to investigate the "environmental degradations" and drive by shootings in the democrat stronghold of Chicago? Probably not.

Issa and Science, I’ll take a rain check for you guys to specifically explain and back up your points.

If Alabama was a country it would rank about 45th in the world economies. There would be about 160 other countries with less GDP.

The poverty in Alabama is largely concentrated in the Democrat voting Black areas.

Alabama has the worst poverty in the developed world, U.N. official says

Quote

A United Nations official investigating poverty in the United States was shocked at the level of environmental degradation in some areas of rural Alabama, saying he had never seen anything like it in the developed world.
"I think it's very uncommon in the First World. This is not a sight that one normally sees. I'd have to say that I haven't seen this," Philip Alston, the U.N.'s Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights, told Connor Sheets of AL.comearlier this week as they toured a community in Butler County where "raw sewage flows from homes through exposed PVC pipes and into open trenches and pits."

Well, that is why Republican policies are bad.

They don't care about educating the population and believe the poor should simply hold a lower position in life.

They don't care about a safetynet for their poor or disabled

They don't care if you're sick and dying and hospitals should be able to destroy your life if you do get sick! Work 3 jobs with cancer sucker!!!

They don't care about fair pay or workers rights

They don't care about environmental standards. China or India level of pollution is in our future if we keep electing republicans.

They don't care if income inequality makes 90% of the society poorer then Africa, while a few percent have it all.

The republican party wouldn't care if we were poorer then Somalia. The truth is this mindset is probably going to lead to the downfall of this nation.

Let me get this straight...with hundreds of thousands of people starving to death in Africa...this Bozo is investigating poverty in the US? Gee, which is more idiotic...that guy...or this string?

Your policies of letting people die, pollute and live in shitty standards is the same that any other third world shit hole that doesn't do shit to better their situation does.

It is kind of funny how you make fun of blacks but then do the same mistakes for our own country. You sit around letting everything fall apart and demand the same outlook for our future!

The third world is being imported and many are from a religion that says they must dominate the world and we do nothing. Also poor in this country is not life threatening as it is elsewhere. Do not even say people are not helped and fed. Welfare is not room service. .

 

[whitehall]

If you define the "developed world" to include China and Russia and Europe I would consider the good people of Butler County Alabama to be among the luckiest people among the rest of the greatest Country in the world and it's time we kicked the parasites in the U.N. out of our developed world.

U.N. official: Alabama's poverty, sewage crisis 'very uncommon in First World'
Source: UPI

By Ray Downs | Dec. 10, 2017 at 8:01 PM

Dec. 10 (UPI) -- A United Nations official investigating poverty in the United States visited Alabama last week and said the poverty and sewage system there is some of the worst he has seen in the developed world.

"I think it's very uncommon in the First World. This is not a sight that one normally sees," said Philip Alston, the UN's Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human right, AL.com reported. "I'd have to say that I haven't seen this."

Alston is on a 15-day trip of the United States to investigate poverty and visited several counties in Alabama's "Black Belt" region, an area of several mostly black counties that have long experienced poverty and racial segregation.

One of the issues Alston focused on was the longstanding sewage crisis in that region.

Ps: sorry i forgot, you guys dont beleive in facts, science or polls.

We do believe in facts. And the fact that it's the voters choose who they want to represent them, as in the case of Donald Trump.

Minority of people did and a push from Putin. Not a democratic system to say thr least. Someome needs to bring democracy to America along with education and common sense.

GTFO. Show me one single solitary example where Putin influenced a voter's decision to choose between one candidate or another.

BTW, America is not a "democracy", you're confusing us with the Greeks. We are a constitutional republic.

Not necessarily swayed votes, but in different ways...like all the Russian trolls and propaganda, wikileaks, ect....
We are goverened by special interest groups. Democracy is overseas not here.

“Alabama has the worst poverty in the developed world, U.N. official says”

The consequence of ignorance, bigotry, racism, and failed conservative social and economic dogma.

Bullshit Alabama is no more bigoted or racist than the rest of the country Me and my black wife got as much shit from people in NY state as we did in Alabama. Years later the same thing for me and my Black girlfriend in California. Your ignorant assumptions about Alabama haven't been the case since the days of Democratic Party inforced Jim Crow laws ended.
