@johno7325@soccerpaedia The biggest games are arguably best atmosphere anywhere. But, sure.. watching Michigan beat Bowling Green 56-6 in September isn't "hype." Although, town atmosphere still an amazing time 100% of the time.
Colonial powers built extensive modern infrastructure in places that had only had hunter-gatherer tribes or rudimentary subsistence agriculture prior to their arrival.
Since their departures, the last of which were about 50 years ago, over $60 billion in development aid has been sent to Africa every year, totaling around $1.5 trillion in foreign aid to the continent.
Huge amounts of that money are lost to waste and graft. Infrastructure that is built by international groups in Africa is rarely maintained and is often stripped and looted for scrap.
In 1960, South Korea was basically Gaza; razed by war with a GDP per-capita lower than that of Ethiopia. Today, South Korea’s GDP per capita is five times higher than that of South Africa, the richest Subsaharan country, and about 30 times Nigeria’s.
You can’t blame colonialism for everything forever. At some point, Africa has to take responsibility for its own failures.
@RNCResearch@BernieSanders I know your decrepit communist ass cant read this, but you really are a piece of shit human being. Free willed, independent people will triumph over your bullshit. Go fuck yourself.
@MarcoFoster_@grahamformaine This is candy for idiots. The person in Sullivan has a much more legitimate claim that the shitty ass government caused those conditions than Amazon. I would guarantee that the person in Sullivan has benefited from Amazon while their purchasing power, etc. is FUCKED from gov.
@johno7325@soccerpaedia I've been to Sunday mass more rowdy than the Chelsea game I went to last year. Who was Michigan playing when you attended? If it's some BS game, sure. If it is a big game, you are just biased. It's amazing.
