> Africa has some countries with very good GDP growth over the past 20 years

The key question is: just how much of that nominal growth ended up back at the population, and how much ended up in anonymous Swiss accounts or shell companies belonging to autocrats and their families/friends?

im not going to criticize other countries when in my own country the USA, the middle class has been shrinking for 40 years and life expectancy is actually going down.

when i grew up it was rare to see a homeless person, now there are tent camps all across the city. and i live in a red state where almost every local and state wide office is run by republicans.
