"The USA Is A 3rd World Nation" - Charles Hugh Smith

[prambo]

CHS usually writes very erudite, knowledgeable and pointed articles about financial subjects.

Seeing this from him led me to compare the USA now to where I lived in 1983-93 - Kenya. He's right - completely and totally correct.

The man sounds like lazy SOB who has no skills and suffers from envy. Being of that mind set he'd vote to steal my stuff, stuff he didn't earn. Third world, yes, if you live in Chicago or Detroit. This guy has to look who was elected and mismanaged those urban shit magnets, then he has to look at the gullible voters who voted in the politicians.

Socialist are full of jealousy and economic envy.

The author is an attention seeking social justice warrior. The irony is, SJWs are wanna be elitist unto themselves. Sort of like middle management.

People who think the US is a third world nation, how many of them have actually "WORKED" in a third world nation? In my younger years I have. The author has no clue. We may have the workings of banana republic government (FUAC) but as a people-society we are not a third world nation.

What the author is attempting to do is sell people on the notion of unhappiness. If the asshole is unhappy, he has a mental illness and a personal problem.

I saw a youtube video of a guy pulled over yesterday by a cop. He rolled the window down 3" and refused to roll it down further. After the cop made him wait around for a while, just to be a dick, the cop gave him his ticket. The guy then rolled the window down further and clearly and loudly rained expletives down on the cop as the cop walked off. The guy in the car then spent 5 more minutes bad mouthing another cop who stood at his window.

At the end of the video the guy drove away on a public road in good shape, and I'm sure he slept soundly at night without worrying about his security. If his kid had a medical emergency he could have brought her to an emergency room and receives high quality care. He has a job, in a 4% unemployment environment, and if he hasn't blown his credit through complete ineptitude he could go and buy a brand new muscle car in less than an hour, then make a video calling the president a piece of trash, suffer no repercussions for it, and then book a trip to Disney and stand in air conditioned lines while waiting for a ride.

The US is a lot of things, but with a per capita GDP of $57k, the most robust freedom of speech on the planet, complete freedom of movement, etc. third world country isn't one of them.

Obama did his damnedest to make us a third-world nation, but the jihadist bastard didn't succeed.
