India is at the stage now that China was at 20 years ago when people were trying to take their lives jumping off Foxconn buildings due to being overworked.

Wage suppression and unemployment are major issues. Modi's economists have recognized the economy is at risk of underperforming due to inadequate demand (consumers not having the disposable income or time to consume goods and services).

They're trying to fix it with certain tax breaks but I hope the Indian people kick Modi to curb ultimately since he's spent most of his time stoking religious tensions, scapegoating minorities and giving kickbacks to Gujurati industrialists. He's a fascist.

It has little to do with Americans being violent. It comes down to population density. The US has a ton of places without the population density for pick pocketing to be effective.

You can't even whisper criticism of capitalism / the free market or you will be labeled a filthy commie.

Try saying that the Western world has set humanity on a path towards extinction by industrializing without a meaningful thought towards sustainability and youll get a response of BUT CHINA CHINA CHINA CHINA (maybe a little India) BUT CHINA by people who are considered well educated and well regarded there. Its that NYT, Washington Post aka American mainstream media brainrot. It's quite rampant.

54% of Americans read at below a grade 6 level.

Welfare is may litterally just mean 'moocher' to an American who has been drowned in propaganda their whole life.

The majority of those countries were robbed by first world countries for centuries so anyone using the phrase without any moral reflection is intentionally not looking at the whole picture.
