People On This Group Are Sharing Examples Of ‘Urban Hell’ That Look Like A Dystopian Movie But Are Sadly Real (40 New Pics)

Well said. City problems and poor problems are mere symptoms. It will catch up even to the well-sheltered eventually in a variety of ways if few take ownership

I want to specifically thank you for calling out paper straws. I used to be in the bar business and everyone tried to start using paper straws because they saw the turtle video. I have been to a place that had paper straws, but still used a plastic cup to shake drinks and threw it away 🤦‍♂️

While paper straws are not perfect, at least they are a tiny step in the right direction. Paper is definitely better then plastic. BUT reusable straws would be even better. Everything should be reusable, if it possibly can. (And I am not talking about poverty, but about pollution)

So, what are the better ways of doing things that will rid the world of poverty?

There actually is, a few years back, china was the first country to give the West the middle finger and ban the import of our "recyclables". Since then, both EU and US have been struggling to get rid of their waste. At last, we will finally have to deal with our own pollution instead of pointing the finger to those countries.

BUT THERE IS PROGRESS!!! When I was a kid, India was always used to represent basket-case poverty and economic dysfunction. "Eat all your food and be grateful, because there are kids starving in India would do anything for a good meal like this!" Today, kids in India have a longer expectancy than kids in America did when I was born!!! Across the globe, economic progress means longer, healthier lives!

We are destroying the 0lanet. We are cutting the branch on which we're sitting - and it's a LOOOOOOOOONG way down--

Try China

As wiki says, it's to immortalize the labor feat of home front workers during the Great Patriotic War in Russia. Monument has nothing to do with background, and I think that It had great views in the past.

Fortunately, one of them is still working in the US, while the other one doesn't matter.
