@gingerrtom He can't eradicate global poverty - even if he gave everyone in the world every single dollar of his money, many of them would immediately spend it and be right back in poverty.
If he gave it to the governments to distribute it, the governments would be corrupt and keep it.
@Boboye_Ak@LaNoireDe It's one thing if the media shows something more often than it actually happens.

@EFCevie@KaijuNo_44 Why isn't the size of a country relevant to the public transport in said country? Surely it would be easier to put a train in Austria than it would in Russia.
@EFCevie@punkrox13 Yes it is. We don't have public transport because it's so big.
And because California will spend like a billion dollars to make 30 meters of high-speed rail, but that's probably just corruption and graft.
@MAAHwrites@EricNjiiru Professional American Football, College American Football, Baseball, Professional Basketball, College Basketball, Hockey, NASCAR.
THEN soccer.
@Leftiesback@gov_fails What are you talking about? No American has ever pretended to give a shit about soccer (an ENGLISH nickname for the sport).
It's our seventh or eighth most popular sport!
@flapprdotnet Liberia was made by freed slaves, wasn't it? And didn't they immediately enslave the local population?
I'm sure they'll fit right in, there.
@sachtend1234@AuronMacintyre Bigotry against who? Islam? A horrific cult dedicated to a pedophile warlord who has been at war with Christianity for 1400 years?
FUCK 'EM!
