A small side note to your message "that really anyone can be successful these days. You just have to want it, do it and persevere." Why don't you tell that to the children who work in a cobalt mine, for example? That may be true for the western world, but certainly not for the whole world.

@Krush82 Everyone has to do their bit. One with a golden spoon in his mouth, the other with a pickaxe in the cobalt mine. If you look at the history of child labor in Europe, you can imagine the rest.

@Reinecke What kind of answer is that 😂😂😂😂

•@leveragegrinding a social development. Who knows who is holding the hoe in their hand. You have to want to improve something for it to change. Blood & sweat are a good motivation & drive.

@Reinecke? do not really understand the connection between "blood and sweat are a good motivation and drive" and decades of exploitation of parts of the world

•@leveragegrinding didn't pay attention to feudalism and the industrial revolution in Europe, hmmm ? In a pyramid of prosperity, no nation starts at the top, but if you feel sorry for the children in the mine, you can transfer your deposit to them.

•@Krush82 In my opinion, that applies to the whole world. The hurdles and problems vary in size, that's true. However, every hurdle and every problem can be solved.

@alextapelea1212 You can only write such bullshit if you are not affected by it

•@Krush82 However, this also applies to people who are not part of the solution.

@Reinecke Of course, who doesn't know the relationship of dependency between Europe and the 3rd states during the industrial revolution.
And to throw extreme arguments around. I didn't say it should be the task of one individual, nor does it make sense to sacrifice "everything" to help people there.
You can also simply try to prevent exploitation through regulation, prosperity can also be built within moral boundaries.
tHen you can't even see the depOt😂
Such populist nonsense
Have a nice day

•@leveragegrinding In Germany, child labor in agriculture was only banned by law in 1960. So high on horseback, it is easy to tell others how they should live and what morals and ethics are. If Europe had applied today's moral and ethical standards as we want to chisel them into our supply chain laws, we would probably still be a developing country today. Why don't we set minimum wages of €12.45 in Africa right away, everything else would be exploitation, CO2 neutral of course and please don't cut down any forests. Prosperity doesn't come out of nowhere, if one person wants to gain something then at least 10 others have to lose something. That's the way it has always been and that's the way it will always be.
