JFK advocating for Nationalized Health Care in 1962. Sadly, here we are over 60 years later & there’s STILL no universal healthcare system in the U.S. because both corporate parties would rather take money from big insurance companies than serve the people.https://t.co/eYcb5vgk3A

Unsustainable private debt that of course wall street and most economists for that matter willfully ignore since their endgame is whining about the national debt instead.
The Africa you see on standard maps is real in outline, but not in true scale. The real Africa is much bigger and more central to the world than many maps make it seem.
In truth, Africa is much larger than many people think. For example Africa is about 14 times larger than Greenland, even though on a Mercator map they often look similar in size.
You can fit the U.S., China, India, Japan, and most of Europe inside Africa and still have room left.

In the 1980s, Deng Xiaoping said let Chinese students study abroad to learn advanced tech. Most of them won't come back but even if a small fraction does come back then it's a net plus for us!
Thanks to comrade Trump, a trickle will turn into a flood
Happy Labor Day!
Remember labor is what creates wealth and everything we enjoy today.
Capitalism then funnels the wealth that labor creates to the CEO class.
Socialism would funnel the wealth labor creates to the working class—which is why the rich fights so hard against it.
The (false) narrative that taxpayers are 'funding' the govt, necessarily justifies those who pay more tax having more of a say in how those revenues are spent.
Is that really the message those on the left want to promote?
