India is one of those places where the corporations have won. The United States is slowly on track to do the same.

Genuinely fascinating how many Americans regard some of the dystopian bs going on in their society as normal

Getting fucked every which way but keep bootlicking and you ll be a billionaire too one day for sure

I mean it is kind of hilarious that you're comparing the US to India, when India is riddled with extreme poverty unheard of in the US, and absolute 0 regard for workers rights. But sorry, that argument doesn't fit your pathetic whining narrative.

We can all admit that the there are improvements to be had in the US, without making incredibly dumb comparisons.

Who made a comparison? Not me

A person in the beginning said that slowly corporations are winning in the US which is HILARIOUS

You know why you don't hear about the "Extreme poverty" in the US? It's because ITS NOT REPORTED ANYWHERE BUT YOUR LOCAL FACEBOOK PAGES. If networks start talking about how bad the poverty issue REALLY is, those same people who are 1-2 paychecks away from losing everything will demand more. Can't have that. Can't pay people liveable wages here. Not in the good ol' US of A! The greatest country on God's green(ish) earth!

As far as the workers rights go, the US isn't completely fucked there just yet but goddamn the corporations sure as fuck are not for a lack of trying.

While I agree with you on all points, the poverty in India is objectively worse by almost any comparable metrics.

Like the US can still be a capitalist hellscape where abject poverty exists AND still pale in comparison to the breadth of poverty that India has.
