- kouru225 3y agoWelfare is a method of fighting corruption though. Corruption means taking money from the public. Welfare is giving money to the public.
- argentinian 3y agoBut when the ones in power are corrupt, they are the same people who would have to implement the welfare. And of course they steal a big percentage of the welfare money. And also inflation. Look at inflation numbers in Argentina. Look what "giving money to the public" can do. Don't be blind to the consequences of economically unsound intentions of welfare.
- Aerbil313 3y agoDo you think the West earned its prosperity through hard work? Fossil fuels and colonization built their civilizations, not them. Humans are no more genius than they were a millenia ago. They just accessed a new free energy source, which is soon to deplete, taking the civilization it built with it, into a horrible famine.
- argentinian 3y agoIt's an unrealistic reduction to talk about "The West" as if it was an homogeneous entity. The whole world used fossil fuels, and you should read the history of the big nations of the East too. What's your point? Are you defending Argentina's corrupt politicians?
