I don’t know

I often think about Africa . How it’s so wealthy and a lot of people in it are extremely wealthy yet the poverty there is extremely intense . Maybe itS not corruption , maybe it’s maliciousness . Maybe the majority of them are just cruel hearted, that they could stomach the things happening and not join hands to stop it .

Poverty breeds millionaires. Because poverty means poor education. Poor education means poor resource management. Poor technology. Bad agriculture. Means being consumers instead of producers. Means depending on others instead of self. So the other countries will use a select few to gain acces to their resources while the benefit for that acces is restricted to the very few that facilitate it. It's a lot cheaper that way: making a few extremely rich is a lot cheaper than paying for what things would cost with decent labor rights and pay introduced to the population.
