Because the bilateral trades are much heavier to them

@Mr. X that themselves probably used to pay external debt

Still a benefit

A good part of Africa gross production is directed at debt

@Mr. X for who? Not the population for sure

They work for foreign companies under terrible conditions

For the economy which in turn helps make sure the population isnt going in worse poverty

Only to make their economy even more dependent

@Mr. X economy growing isn't necessarily going to stop poverty

China for example

Thats how my grandfather got rich, he worked for foreign companies.

Well he's lucky as hell, most get hunger and die

No of course not, their will always be poverty

Like we have?

No not most, most get richer and have a less chance to die

Nope dude

Every country has poverty

in some form

Most don't get out of poverty

I'm happy that your grandfather worked hard and got a better life

But most of us don't get it

Then why are the majority of western countries and some eastern countries not in poverty?

Majority of the populations

@Mr. X they are not necessarily in direct but relative poverty

They are paid monstrous amounts less than they produce

No most in the US and Europe are in the middle class, they arent homeless or jobless

And western countries struggle more and more with poverty

@Mr. Xrelstive poverty

They produce a ton for what they are paid

And those people are getting fucked too

It depends on what the public wants

Things are getting worde

@Mr. X nope

thats how journalist buisnesses get profit

Demand specially today is heavily coordinated by the existing industry

Not necessarily inherent necessities

Such as entertainment

Look at the US food industry

Their film industry

And so on

They gain a lot, good is a necessity too
