On Saturday we woke up dark and early before the sun in order to catch our Uber to LAX before 7am. We were flying southwest and had checked in the day before right at the buzzer, the instant we were allowed to, but still ended up in C group. When we finally lined up we […]
The City of (not sun) Light
Our train arrived in Paris after sunset and we tried to use the “easy” subway system we experienced in London and Brussels but were quickly stymied by a glitchy machine that wouldn’t keep English selected past the initial screen. Kind of a problem for figuring out what to buy. Belgium even had a guy walking […]
They Should all be Belgian Fries Instead
We reached Brussels before sunset, perfect for checking out the Bourse Christmas Market. We’d picked the right lodging in some ways and the worst in others. The hotel was right next to the market and the hub of the city, but it was also somehow very loud at night with clanging and banging and strange […]
I only got a few minutes into it before YouTube yanked the video, but I can comment on what I saw up until then.
Stuff like this is assinine because the primary goal of it is to bemoan the US. Unfortunately, they can’t even give proper information without presenting the facts in a skewed manner.
First off, if you use the population numbers for the countries given in comparison with the number of college graduates, the US has a much higher percentage of graduates than China or India. In fact it’s almost double in percentage.
If I had to choose a country in which to live and be a poor person, neither China nor India would be high on the list. The conditions of the poor in those countries are far, far worse than the US.
When they claim that people will have 10 to 14 jobs in their lives in the US do they also count the jobs people have in their teenage and young adult years before they settle into a profession? I had 5 different jobs by the time I was 20. And that doesn’t even count a paper route and nanny job I had. Switching from one job to another is not a bad thing. Usually people switch from one company to another in order to recieve higher pay, better benefits or both. Why would it be considered bad to switch when you get a better offer?
Just some things to think about.
