Alabama has the worst poverty in the developed world, U.N. official says

Deep red Alabama has some of the worst poverty in the developed world

If you believe anything a bureaucratic, lying UN scumbag has to say, you have my pity.

There's a reason why Haiti, Somalia, Central African republic and other places that have very little government are all third world. The first job of government outside of defense is to invest in its society.

Education
Science
Infrastructure
Quality standards and regulations on food, water and air
etc

If it doesn't = the country turns into a shit hole

No, it's not because of government, it's because every black-majority country on this planet is a violent, savage, semi-literate, 3rd-world shithole. Having the lowest average IQ on earth, blacks simply don't have the brainpower necessary to build a successful society.

Not necessarily swayed votes, but in different ways...like all the Russian trolls and propaganda, wikileaks, ect....

Comrade, there are no Russian troll's here influencing the vote or the board. .....

 

[HereWeGoAgain]

The cause is evident: If you want poverty, vote for Democrats. If you want prosperity, vote for Republicans.

Fake news, check the stats it contradicts your dreams.

Ps: sorry i forgot, you guys dont beleive in facts, science or polls.

How'd those presidential polls work out for ya?

U.N. official: Alabama's poverty, sewage crisis 'very uncommon in First World'

Dec. 10 (UPI) -- A United Nations official investigating poverty in the United States visited Alabama last week and said the poverty and sewage system there is some of the worst he has seen in the developed world.

"I think it's very uncommon in the First World. This is not a sight that one normally sees," said Philip Alston, the UN's Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human right, AL.com reported. "I'd have to say that I haven't seen this."

Alston is on a 15-day trip of the United States to investigate poverty and visited several counties in Alabama's "Black Belt" region, an area of several mostly black counties that have long experienced poverty and racial segregation.

One of the issues Alston focused on was the longstanding sewage crisis in that region.

Did he photodocument? Where are the pictures?

Your policies of letting people die, pollute and live in shitty standards is the same that any other third world shit hole that doesn't do shit to better their situation does.

It is kind of funny how you make fun of blacks but then do the same mistakes for our own country. You sit around letting everything fall apart and demand the same outlook for our future!

I'd take a trailer in rural Alabama over a shitty apartment in New York anyday.

So you're saying blacks are shiftless and lazy?

We do believe in facts. And the fact that it's the voters choose who they want to represent them, as in the case of Donald Trump.

Minority of people did and a push from Putin. Not a democratic system to say thr least. Someome needs to bring democracy to America along with education and common sense.

GTFO. Show me one single solitary example where Putin influenced a voter's decision to choose between one candidate or another.

BTW, America is not a "democracy", you're confusing us with the Greeks. We are a constitutional republic.

Not necessarily swayed votes, but in different ways...like all the Russian trolls and propaganda, wikileaks, ect....
We are goverened by special interest groups. Democracy is overseas not here.

So you're pissed the dems got caught.

List of U.S. states by poverty rate - Wikipedia

Alabama 48th.

The libtard who made that list listed DC as a state.

You're such a dumbshit haven't you ever read statistics "all 50 states and DC". I thought you were older than that.

Why is poverty in the deep South a GOP problem? Correct me if I'm wrong but haven't we spent trillions of dollars since the 60's on a "War on Poverty" that was supposed to fix that? Would you like to discuss decades of Democratic control of those impoverished areas that haven't resulted in less poverty? Break down the counties in which there is rampant poverty and see which are controlled by Republicans and which are controlled by Democrats and THEN try and make the same argument!

And the problem is? Don't you think we have American trolls and propaganda trying to sway them? They haven't seemed to change Russia's government one single bit, have they?

Alabama has the worst poverty in the developed world, U.N. official says

Quote

A United Nations official investigating poverty in the United States was shocked at the level of environmental degradation in some areas of rural Alabama, saying he had never seen anything like it in the developed world.
"I think it's very uncommon in the First World. This is not a sight that one normally sees. I'd have to say that I haven't seen this," Philip Alston, the U.N.'s Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights, told Connor Sheets of AL.comearlier this week as they toured a community in Butler County where "raw sewage flows from homes through exposed PVC pipes and into open trenches and pits."

Well, that is why Republican policies are bad.

They don't care about educating the population and believe the poor should simply hold a lower position in life.

They don't care about a safetynet for their poor or disabled

They don't care if you're sick and dying and hospitals should be able to destroy your life if you do get sick! Work 3 jobs with cancer sucker!!!

They don't care about fair pay or workers rights

They don't care about environmental standards. China or India level of pollution is in our future if we keep electing republicans.

They don't care if income inequality makes 90% of the society poorer then Africa, while a few percent have it all.

The republican party wouldn't care if we were poorer then Somalia. The truth is this mindset is probably going to lead to the downfall of this nation.

This is a national embarrassment. We need to help these people.

“Alabama has the worst poverty in the developed world, U.N. official says”

The consequence of ignorance, bigotry, racism, and failed conservative social and economic dogma.

The consequence of bigotry and racism....
see matt?....even a dipshit like jones knows that people like you are the problem....

 

[Harry Dresden]

Matthew has gone from full blown racist rightie to a full blown liberal loon in a handful of years.

Inexplicable

Actually, he is a racist liberal progressive.

matt wont comment on his racist views that many of us have witnessed.....he is no better than those he calls "racist"....

 

[Harry Dresden]

The cause is evident: If you want poverty, vote for Democrats. If you want prosperity, vote for Republicans.

Which of course the facts don't support.

However, the best bet would be to get rid of both the main two parties' monopoly on power, then the people can run the govt again, instead of the Koch brothers.

Sorry. Bernie won't likely be running again this time. Neither will Jill Stain.

I don't understand what you're getting at. Either you can't read or you're trying to claim I'm a Socialist or something.

Let's see:

1. Two party system is "evil". Therefore you're a right-wing libertarian AKA Ron Paul, Gary Johnson, etc., or a left-wing socialist AKA Bernie Sanders, Jill Stein, etc.

2. You stated your hatred for the Koch Brothers which rules out the first part of number 1.

3. Or the third possibility, you were a Hillary supporter but are so embarrassed by her incompetent campaign, you lost faith in the Democrat Party.

Amirite?

Two party system is "evil".
not evil....just choking the Country with their tit for tat bullshit....
