@ - The inequality isn’t going away because it was never about land ownership. It was about a different culture fully modern in economics and industry going against a culture which never had the Industrial Revolution. This is why land reform often ends up with unproductive land and drives the country off of a cliff. For some reason, people thinking owning land is having prosperity. It isn’t, and that mindset has killed Africa before

@siphamandlamkhize9766 - Might want to check the objective data. The US is doing wonderfully as our GDP far exceeds the EU now. We have healthy demographics and healthy growth. The objective data is clear. Hopefully now we can focus on our own country instead of propping up European defense and making sure Palestinians are fed.

@dumseklaas1642 - You guys have a barely functioning country, you need everything you can get. You have been going downhill for decades now

@BlurryFace-zz2ro - Since he has been out of jail your country has done nothing but go downhill, lol. You guys are delusional, your country barely functions

@guleiro - You guys always take about minerals as if they power the economy. Africa still hasn’t learned it is about people and institutions, not natural resources.

We shouldn’t send aid to South Africa. They are allies of our enemies and never do anything for the US. Why would we help a failing country like that?

@ - Lol, then the Soviet Union must have been the best place on earth! No, median income measures the average person, and a country does the best it can for the most people, which is represented in median figures. So, nice try, but that is just coping dude. We are doing extremely well, as much as people on the left hate it. Economics has always been conservative, which is why SA has faced enormous problems since being ruled by a left wing group. Some people just don’t learn

@mashobane6177 - Right. I seem to remember Zimbabwe had similar views. Your country has been going in on direction for decades and it isn’t a positive direction. This is just another in a long long line of bad decisions.

@ - everyone forgets about you until we see the latest news of how your country is failing. That is all we know about you because it’s all you’ve done for 30 years
