till Brexit

2020-02-12 14:02:54 UTC  

How has that worked out for ya?

2020-02-12 14:03:00 UTC  

being the United States?

2020-02-12 14:03:02 UTC  

Yeah oh hell no

2020-02-12 14:03:16 UTC  

Conditions in EU are totally different

2020-02-12 14:03:27 UTC  

Anyways that wasn’t my point - my point is China is pretty poor

2020-02-12 14:03:41 UTC  

Their economy is big, which is to be expected as they have the largest population

2020-02-12 14:03:47 UTC  

But still poor

2020-02-12 14:04:13 UTC  

@sɪᴅɪsɴᴏᴛʜᴇʀᴇ
China has 1.3 billion people and more evenly distributed to the common man vs the top 1% in the west.

2020-02-12 14:04:35 UTC  

Evenly poor

2020-02-12 14:04:36 UTC  

Excellent

2020-02-12 14:04:47 UTC  

Less debt

2020-02-12 14:04:51 UTC  

lower overhead

2020-02-12 14:05:05 UTC  

Less debt?

2020-02-12 14:05:09 UTC  

You mean government wise?

2020-02-12 14:05:22 UTC  

If we’re looking at incomes, people in the west are far richer

2020-02-12 14:05:25 UTC  

Especially America

2020-02-12 14:05:31 UTC  

China is pretty poor

2020-02-12 14:05:32 UTC  

China knows what an ROI is

2020-02-12 14:05:46 UTC  

They are the largest economy

2020-02-12 14:06:00 UTC  

yes because they are the largest population.

2020-02-12 14:06:14 UTC  

Doesn’t mean they’re better off, they’re far below in per capita than the west

2020-02-12 14:06:19 UTC  

Like I said - that means lower income

2020-02-12 14:06:40 UTC  

China GDP ppp per capita is 16000

2020-02-12 14:06:43 UTC  

That’s weak.

2020-02-12 14:06:49 UTC  

only because you think an expensive is spendable.

2020-02-12 14:06:50 UTC  

GG @wuzamarine, you just advanced to level 3!

2020-02-12 14:06:55 UTC  

A what?

2020-02-12 14:07:12 UTC  

you can't profit from an expense

2020-02-12 14:07:20 UTC  

I’m not following

2020-02-12 14:08:11 UTC  

Debt comes in 2 formats. Good and Bad debt.
Good debt has an ROI. Bad does not.
Walls have no fucking ROI.
Giving every citizen a home that needs it, does.

2020-02-12 14:08:46 UTC  

I don’t see how this is related to the fact China is poor

2020-02-12 14:09:02 UTC  

In China today, poverty refers mainly to the rural poor, as decades of economic growth have largely eradicated urban poverty.[1][2][3] The dramatic progress in reducing poverty over the past three decades in China is well known. According to the World Bank, more than 850 million Chinese people have been lifted out of extreme poverty; China's poverty rate fell from 88 percent in 1981 to 0.7 percent in 2015, as measured by the percentage of people living on the equivalent of US$1.90 or less per day in 2011 purchasing price parity terms.

2020-02-12 14:09:21 UTC  

China knows how to address the basics.

2020-02-12 14:09:39 UTC  

Which is why many are in poverty

2020-02-12 14:10:07 UTC  

22.2% live less than 5.50 dollars a day

2020-02-12 14:10:07 UTC  

They all have homes.
Washington DC has a family holed up on every street corner.

2020-02-12 14:10:19 UTC  

Homelessness rate in the us is like 0.7%

2020-02-12 14:10:24 UTC  

The long term rate is 0.2%
