And absolutely nothing gets solved like that.
So, everybody should just up and leave their homeland without fighting and HOPE it gets better?

“I’m Sorry for 2025”
Isn't that what most people do who come to western countries (legally and illegally) to flee persecution?And absolutely nothing gets solved like that.
So, everybody should just up and leave their homeland without fighting and HOPE it gets better?
on the contrary that is how Africa has gained progress despite bad leaders. ex-pats are fueling the Tech sector and other ingenuity on the continent right now.And absolutely nothing gets solved like that.
So, everybody should just up and leave their homeland without fighting and HOPE it gets better?
everyone should do what they can despite their circumstances
leaving denotes no return which isn't true we make returns like wise investments
if I hoped things would get better I would have sat on my ass waiting, the only thing we run from is hopelessness
I can son you all day goofy
Not only, some western countries encourage a brain drain of the developing world. They entice the doctor's, lawyers and teachers by giving them scholarships etc then said person has to stay x amount of time in that country. The whole time those people from developing worlds have to deal with shyt from the natives.
Also not every person coming to a third world country is fleeing persecution. There may be better job prospects, better economy etc.
Or, you could've went outside and fought for change, like what my ancestors did, but, meh.
I'm done with you, Breh. You already derailed my thread to get your little shyt off instead of making your own thread to do that.
my ancestors fought for change outside and liberated the country then lived under puppet leaders so we worked around it and made opportunities.

I mean, yeah you can. And you should. And it’s never as black and white as someone as you described unless you perceive it that way...
Most revolutions are fueled by inequity and the masses reaching a boiling point.
What compounds this is the looming environmental crisis and how geopolitics plays into this.
It’s coming to us too.
“Essentially, the wealthy possess greater financial opportunities that allow their money to make more money. Earnings from the stock market or mutual funds are reinvested to produce a larger return. Over time, the sum that is invested becomes progressively more substantial. Those who are not wealthy, however, do not have the resources to enhance their opportunities and improve their economic position. Rather, "after debt payments, poor families are constrained to spend the remaining income on items that will not produce wealth and will depreciate over time."[60] Scholar David B. Grusky notes that "62 percent of households headed by single parents are without savings or other financial assets."[61] Net indebtedness generally prevents the poor from having any opportunity to accumulate wealth and thereby better their conditions.
Economic inequality is a result of difference in income. Factors that contribute to this gap in wages are things such as level of education, labor marketdemand and supply, gender differences, growth in technology, and personal abilities. The quality and level of education that a person has often corresponds to their skill level, which is justified by their income. Wages are also determined by the "market price of a skill" at that current time. Although gender inequality is a separate social issue, it plays a role in economic inequality. According to the U.S. Census Report, in America the median full-time salary for women is 77 percent of that for men. Also contributing to the wealth inequality in the U.S., both unskilled and skilled workers are being replaced by machinery. The Seven Pillars Institute for Global Finance and Ethics argues that because of this "technological advance", the income gap between workers and owners has widened.[62]
Income inequality contributes to wealth inequality. For example, economist Emmanuel Saez wrote in June 2016 that the top 1% of families captured 52% of the total real income (GDP) growth per family from 2009-2015. From 2009 to 2012, the top 1% captured 91% of the income gains.[63]
Notably, for both the wealthy and not-wealthy, the process of accumulation or debt is cyclical. The rich use their money to earn larger returns and the poor have no savings with which to produce returns or eliminate debt. Unlike income, both facets are generational. Wealthy families pass down their assets allowing future generations to develop even more wealth. The poor, on the other hand, are less able to leave inheritances to their children leaving the latter with little or no wealth on which to build...This is another reason why wealth inequality is so important. Its accumulation has direct implications for economic inequality among the children of today's families.[60]
Corresponding to financial resources, the wealthy strategically organize their money so that it will produce profit. Affluent people are more likely to allocate their money to financial assets such as stocks, bonds, and other investments which hold the possibility of capital appreciation. Those who are not wealthy are more likely to have their money in savings accounts and home ownership.[64] This difference comprises the largest reason for the continuation of wealth inequality in America: the rich are accumulating more assets while the middle and working classes are just getting by. As of 2007, the richest 1% held about 38% of all privately held wealth in the United States.[21] while the bottom 90% held 73.2% of all debt.[60] According to The New York Times, the richest 1 percent in the United States now own more wealth than the bottom 90 percent.[8]
However, other studies argue that higher average savings rate will contribute to the reduction of the share of wealth owned by the rich. The reason is that the rich in wealth are not necessarily the individuals with the highest income. Therefore, the relative wealth share of poorer quintiles of the population would increase if the savings rate of income is very large, although the absolute difference from the wealthiest will increase.[65][66][67]
As the price of commodities increases because of inflation, a larger percentage of lower-class people's money is spent on things they need to survive and go to work, such as food and gasoline. Most of the working poor are paid fixed hourly wages that do not keep up with rises in prices, so every year an increasing percentage of their income is consumed until they have to go into debt just to survive.[citation needed] At this point, their little wealth is owed to lenders and banking institutions.
The nature of tax policies in America has been suggested by economists and politicians such as Emmanuel Saez, Thomas Piketty, and Barack Obama to perpetuate economic inequality in America by steering large sums of wealth into the hands of the wealthiest Americans. The mechanism for this is that when the wealthy avoid paying taxes, wealth concentrates to their coffers and the poor go into debt.[68]
The economist Joseph Stiglitz argues that "Strong unions have helped to reduce inequality, whereas weaker unions have made it easier for CEOs, sometimes working with market forces that they have helped shape, to increase it." The long fall in unionization in the U.S. since WWII has seen a corresponding rise in the inequality of wealth and income.[69]”
