Better than Bulgaria but not as nice as Cuba: how did the US become such an awful place to live?

Better than Bulgaria but not as nice as Cuba: how did the US become such an awful place to live? | Arwa Mahdawi

The land of the free is heading for ‘developing country’ status, based on a UN index that ranks quality of life. The UK’s not doing much better, writes Arwa Mahdawi

Grim reading. I look around the UK and I see the effects of this every day. We live in an unequal society where the game is rigged in favour of the elites and the poor are invited to pay for it.

In the UK I trace it all back to thatcherism and the discredited trickle down economics. Unfortunately this is about to be exacerbated by our thicck as shit PM who believes in this nonsense.

Luckily for the US President Biden has rubbished this theory and has this whacky idea that Govt should help people who arent millionaires.

Of course these surveys do not capture everything but the shitness of modern America is a constant theme on here. So they must be on to something.

If the US is so bad economically, why do all the poor folk keep coming across the border in the US and the UK?

And if the US is so systemically racist, why do black Cubans risk getting on a tire hoping that they float to Florida and why do so many brown skinned Muslims go to the UK?

It almost makes Leftists look like utter morons for how negatively they view the US and the UK

I know, Tommy, why don't you go to Russia and play basketball cuz countries like Russia are so much better?

Ive been to Russia and its a shithole.
But I read many threads on here pining for the age of MAGA. A time when living standards ere higher, when you had more freedom and the streets were safer.
Are those comments just whining or is there some truth in it ?

Living standards across the globe are deteriorating.

But I don't see this point made,

All I see is, US and UK bad.

Try getting your head out your back side and ask why that is

Why do you think this is so?

Why do we have world wide inflation and shortages?

Could it have something to do with the world wide war on fossil fuels?

Could it be a result of the world wide reckless spending by governments across the globe?

Could it be because of the world wide shut downs regarding Covid?

Have Left wing governments all across the globe caused this crisis?

Na, Orange man's fault

Besides, January 6th.

You're one gullible dumbass.

Like in every socialist/communist country that has ever existed, the Cuban people live in abject poverty. They live on $240/year.

You're a moron.

I would say that its because our politicians are bought and paid for and they repay that by passing laws that benefit the rich.
You can add that to the rampant inequality in the world. A starving african will make it cheaper than you can.
And the richer nations have further to fall.

thats pretty much the root of it.

"Living standards across the globe are deteriorating."
Have Left wing governments all across the globe caused this crisis? NO!! Thats not true. The UK is right wings.

I see your right about something.
Its Tramps fault, look at the way we almost got out of NATO! and the tax cut only served the rich.

Then why not move to Africa where it is sooooo much better?

Repeat after me, "Because it is a sh#thole!

Thanks for playing.

We can only repeat the same thing over and over and it still does not register with Progs. Easy living has softened them up into self-absorbed and self-important boors. The second the reality hits them head on where they live in la la land, they say not in m backyard.

Wait, wut? The UK is right wings?

First of all, this makes no sense.

Secondly, when debating you need to do more than say that was not true.

You need actual brain function to try and refute a claim that has obvious truth.

It's not your problem, and not any of your business.

Worry about what is going on around you, in your own degenerate shithole of a country. Those of us here in a far superior country to yours, on the opposite side of the world from you, can deal with our own issues without your “help”.

UK has had a con govt for 12 years. It has failed and our way of life has deteriorated.

You were the empire. Unlike past ones you were not the worst ones oppressing other nations into pure slavery. Even though that existed. The people in those nations were not the best to their own and Britain actually improved conditions in many of them. You stagnated and had rudimentary socialism in the 19th century. You also had first generation industrialization. Being a world ruler and growing social issues at home weakened you. Even if your citizens lived better than most on the planet. the problem for us all is that utopia does not exist and even in the richest nations there are people who will live in poverty.
