I also struggle with how West Africa; for example, can spin their wheels for decades
you can point to corruption, or warlords, or siphoning aid, or geography, or anything
but none of it rings true for me
the fact that a large portion of the country, every day, dedicate 100% of their time to drawing water from a well, and carrying it dozens of miles
is retarded
at the foundation of a basic economy
you have farmers, which for the most part theese countries have
centrally managed, but they have them nonetheless
there's nothing above that
which... shouldn't be posssible
if you are an average adult in Sengal, what are you doing with your day?
what about the day after?
they have food
they have water
I don't get how they can't develope that second level of market economy
where they sell labour
I don't hate GG&S
other than the Papau new Guinea crap
Nigeria is one of the top 10 most populated countries in the world
and they have a 6% unemployment rate
what are they doing
what does a Nigerian do with their day
Lagos is a real city
outside of Lagos though
what do they do
It's not laziness
I just can't fathom how an entire country/economy... does nothing, with tremendous human capital
if you dedicate your time to building a mud hut
and every time it rains it washes away
which is does, 30% of the year
they have tools, they havee cities
they have resources
I don't get how they can spin their wheels, doing nothing, sisypheanly
