He looks strong and a like him. Much better than the Bolsonarioâs.
South Africa has been getting poorer. You can see in this chart that from 2000 to 2023, prices are 3.5x higher (inflation of 250%) but the GDP per capita only rose by 20%.
The Growth Trajectory: South Africa experienced a strong commodities-driven upward trend through the mid-2000s, peaking aroun...d 2008â2013. Since then, structural headwindsâincluding severe electricity constraints (load shedding) and logistical inefficienciesâhave caused real GDP per capita to stagnate or slide backwards.
The 2020 Shocks: A notable drop-off can be observed in 2020 due to global pandemic disruptions, followed by a minor statistical rebound.
South Africa's GDP vs Inflation growths since 2000 in terms of percentage. You can see that inflation has been growing faster than GDP. The GDP was growing faster than inflation in Thabo Mbeki's time as president (before 2008).
Video: Donald Trump saying he wants house prices to stay up and rise higher. He doesnât want prices to drop because the rich owners might lose money.
In some countries like China they say houses are for living in, not tools to get money from people.
Incels don't create anything of value for society.
They can't produce life, they're too weak for real labour, and they can't read at an adult level. This is the real welfare class. "Ooh, my feelings!
Watch out, everyone! My mental health is your problem, here my manifesto... wah"
Elon Musk is now worth 1.022 trillion dollars. Some people are saying that 0.22 could change their lives while others have said only 4000$ would change theirs and some say only 500$ would help the average person make it through the month.
70 to 75% of cocoa/cacao comes from Africa but chocolate is a luxury in most of Africa. Black people gather Africaâs resources then pass it on to outsiders to produce products. Africans/Blacks work hard but smart work is needed for better lifestyles, smart work is making the products, owning the com...panies, science, engineering etc.
Africans gather resources in Africa then hand them over to outsiders to make products because Africans barely created factories for anything. Africans produce cocoa for chocolates but the chocolate is made and enjoyed outside of Africa because donât... make the products. Cheap chocolate is a luxury in Africa but the ingredients are in Africa. Many of the resources for technology and infrastructure are from Africa but Africa has the least technology and infrastructure. Africa has the resources but poverty is all over the place.
Instead of giving resources to be processed in China, Europe and other places, Africans should start making products and selling them. Africans should create businesses and not only be workers. Africans need to start building, Africa is underdeveloped compared to even Asia and Latin America.
Africans work hard but for success you also need to work smart. Smart work is intellectual e.g. building businesses, engineering, scientific research unlike low skilled labour which doesnât require much knowledge e.g. brick laying, cleaning.
Black ownership of businesses, land and institutions will be required for the empowerment of Black people. It will also reduce racism by being less reliant on other races. Black people shouldnât always have to depend on other races for jobs and services.
Africans and Black People everywhere should start solving their own problems instead of only running to white people and other non-Blacks for better lives. You canât blame colonisation for not building roads, schools, stable electricity, water supply systems etc.
Africans need to get involved in the production of the things they use and in inventing solutions to the worldâs problems.
Hereâs a picture of parts of the world at night. See how dim Africa is despite having almost 25% of the worldâs population.
How Black Americans can delineate from other Black groups in America.
Delineation is about differentiating between Black Americans who trace their ancestry in America to the 1800âs and Black people who migrated to America in the 1900âs and after.
Currently the Black Americans who want delineat...ion are calling themselves FBA (Foundational Black American) but it is not officially recognised. The ethnic name for Black Americans is âAfrican Americanâ. The term African American is problematic to some because they view themselves as Americans, not Africans.
The term African American needs to go for proper delineation because a person of African migrant history that has American citizenship can claim African and American. A unique ethnic name is required. Some have proposed âSoulaanâ and FBA. Soulaan stands for âSoul Autochthonous Americanâ.
Soulaan does the job properly, people canât claim it because it isnât an international term like Black or African. Black people exist even outside of America, Africans too but the term Soulaan can be used for one soecific ethnic group.
Delineation requires Black Americans to be referred to by a unique term, not a race e.g. Black or a term that African immigrants can claim like African American and some Blacks donât want to be told that they are African, they are Americans.
Corporate profits are at record highs while workers' share of national income has fallen to historic lows, according to a Financial Times analysis of federal data dating back to the 1940s.
