one of the most senseless protests of all time, no fixed agenda or goal, no organizations, no plan going forward.

people cry about police brutality, why not go to a third world countries and actually learn what the word means. the same goes for 'poverty in US', most second or third world people simply laugh at us for claiming so, this is even factoring in PPP (if you don't know what PPP is, you shouldn't be making such claims)

they call poverty in US as they are US citizen and US is a wealthy state

why should they be comparing themselves to third world countries?

Because generally that's how the economy works... you can either grow it quickly unevenly, or grow it slowley evenly (or even have it stop!).

It doesn't need to be such a dichotomy that your either the USA or a thrid would country.... HOWEVER, more often then not the choice for the poor is between having a higher amount of money or a higher share of money.

You have to decide if you'd rather live in a society where you can afford 12 videogames a year and some rich CEO has a flying Yacht he can fly to the moon... or if you can afford 10 videogames a year and some CEO can afford 12 videogames a year.

I can understand the viewpoint of a lot of people, but i can't understand the viewpoint of someone who intentionally hurts their own standard of living soley to hurt the standard of living of someone they don't know.
