  • China has brought millions out of poverty. The US has not – by choice

  • Even per capita with PPP, China is only $29k. By the same measure, the US is $60k.

  • That's an odd measure. The population of the country being immigrated to doesn't seem to have a lot to do with which country an immigrant will want to go to. Immigrants want to go to the place that'll give them the best opportunity. By all measures, the US, Canada, and western Europe are the places people want to go. China isn't.

  • A generations' percent of wealth always increases as they get older.

  • I think immigrant desire for relocation speaks volumes of where the greatest opportunity exists. The migration patterns vastly favor the US as being the place for the greater hope for the global poor, as evidenced by their footprints.

  • Share of national wealth is not affluence. It is a measure that gets distorted when a country has a disproportionate number of billionaires relative to their own population and to other countries.

    If you adjust for purchasing power, the median individual in China is only $29k. By the same measure, the US is $60k.

  • You are mistaken, GDP of Germany is greater than Alabama, even moreso when you account for PPP.

  • Even per capita with PPP, China is only $29k. By the same measure, the US is $60k. Also, healthcare is not free in China for most people in most circumstances. If there was any country that had a terrible way of financing healthcare as the US, it would be China. Healthcare bankruptcy is common in China. Chinese healthcare would be a bargain for me, paying with a US income. It is absolutely unaffordable for someone living on Chinese wages.

  • Over 90% of Chinese households would be below the US poverty line. Their GDP per capita is only $13k.

  • Homeschooling Hits Record Numbers

    Jump

  • This may just be a reflection of a shift in who are having children. The types of families who practice religion and are socially more conservative have more children and they are more likely to homeschool. As the "who" of having children diverges, you are likely to see more homeschooling.

  • Young Girls Were Sexually Abused by a Church Member. They Were Told to Forgive and Forget.

  • Does your post intentionally recall the devil's challenging Jesus to throw himself off the temple to be saved by his own angels. Because it sounds like your advice and the devil's advise are about the same.

  • U.S. deports dozens of migrants to Ukraine amid war

    Jump

  • Unless you are Russia, North Korea, China, or similarly aligned, it is in your interest that Ukrainian men be in Ukraine defending their country. If you are in Ukraine, it is in your interest that they be returned to fight. If you are on the front lines, you damn well have the expectation that they be made to join you on the front lines. It doesn't matter what these men want. It matters what they will be made to do. And the pressure needs to be turned up to send them back to Ukraine to fight. Call it what you want but, in a just war, conscription is morally just, and pulling men back home to join in the defense of the county is morally just.
