    If the United States is going to have a great power competition with China, then one thing they might want to look at is this project to build national unity by fighting poverty.https://twitter.com/DSORennie/status/1306622098333343745 …

    China's vow to end extreme poverty in 2020 involves stunning numbers: billions of $ spent, millions moved from rural homes. But don't miss what it really is: a political campaign to integrate the poor into the natl economy, & train them to thank the Party. https://www.economist.com/china/2020/09/19/chinas-anti-poverty-drive-is-not-disinterested-charity …

        It would never happen here bc racists wouldn't want poor people getting anything at all. The rich wouldn't want to pay a nickel more and the military would never have a cent cut.

        But wouldn't that make America's top 1% just a tiny bit poorer?

        Nothing like forced removal of the poor to really show how benevolent you are.

        The USA lost a valuable enemy when they lost the USSR as ideological rival. I remember Regan bragging that they could fly coast-to-coast without showing id to anyone.

        No no no! Don’t you get it! It’s bad for the government to address its population’s needs because the citizens might then like the government!

        This is what is happening in eastern Africa. The Chinese have done more for them in 20 years than the British did in a hundred
