so can navigate to the country you most care about

2019-07-24 03:38:34 UTC  

Whoa

2019-07-24 03:38:54 UTC  

So basically is a critique of the banking systems ?

2019-07-24 03:39:36 UTC  

mmmmm its more of a "look at how they did all this corruption and which banks they used"

2019-07-24 03:39:44 UTC  

so to some degree it is, i guess

2019-07-24 03:39:50 UTC  

Or how the government handles them money through banks

2019-07-24 03:40:15 UTC  

like theyll detail all the projects that a brazilian leader undertook

2019-07-24 03:40:24 UTC  

"dams, electricity etc"

2019-07-24 03:40:33 UTC  

look at how much they were supposed to cost

2019-07-24 03:40:40 UTC  

then measure how much it actually costed

2019-07-24 03:40:48 UTC  

then how much of it was siphoned off to offshore accounts

2019-07-24 03:40:57 UTC  

how the project took decades longer than projected

2019-07-24 03:41:11 UTC  

You know that's actually

2019-07-24 03:41:18 UTC  

A thing

2019-07-24 03:41:37 UTC  

They build these huge structures or whatever

2019-07-24 03:41:55 UTC  

the companies are all multinationals too

2019-07-24 03:41:58 UTC  

who charge massive premiums

2019-07-24 03:42:02 UTC  

And then the price is increased like tenfold

2019-07-24 03:42:29 UTC  

so its not like they even prop up local businessmen

2019-07-24 03:42:35 UTC  

With no control over the actual expenditures

2019-07-24 03:42:37 UTC  

theyre propping up american millionaires

2019-07-24 03:43:22 UTC  

You don't really like America uh ?

2019-07-24 03:43:36 UTC  

At least in the economic aspects

2019-07-24 03:43:50 UTC  

since WWII, i think theyve been a massive negative for the world geopolitically and economically

2019-07-24 03:43:58 UTC  

but in terms of consumer technology

2019-07-24 03:44:00 UTC  

god bless them

2019-07-24 03:44:41 UTC  

like the CIA have overthrown 14 highly popular presidents

2019-07-24 03:44:51 UTC  

and replaced them with authoritarian corrupt puppet regimes

2019-07-24 03:45:33 UTC  

theyll support any regime that is pro american business (which typically is at the expense of local workers)

2019-07-24 03:46:26 UTC  

and they promulgate the american foreign debt regime (IMF, world bank, exim bank, WTO) which ensures policies are implemented that retard the development of these nations

2019-07-24 03:46:56 UTC  

High interests?

2019-07-24 03:47:10 UTC  

yea they get the full neoliberal/friedman package

2019-07-24 03:47:16 UTC  

high interest rates

2019-07-24 03:47:20 UTC  

debt burdens which cant be paid

2019-07-24 03:47:25 UTC  

worker rights get stripped

2019-07-24 03:47:35 UTC  

taxes on multinationals are dropped

2019-07-24 03:47:53 UTC  

and free trade

2019-07-24 03:48:12 UTC  

But still underdeveloped countries need these

2019-07-24 03:48:18 UTC  

It's better than nothing

2019-07-24 03:48:20 UTC  

need what part of this?

2019-07-24 03:48:25 UTC  

they dont need this at all
