      It’s absolutely terrible to watch how they just keep raising the standard of living all the time tricking people into thinking that’s a good thing!

      What I have seen from 10 years living there:

      A big chunk of the dirt poor got to send their kids to university and secure real assets for their families while working an honest job.

      The kind of job that pays for fuck all barely a life in the west.

      Of course at the same time the rich got even richer. The crazy rich kind of stayed where they are.

      Sadly there are still a lot of dirt poor families in China but within ten years the transformation has been breath taking. And these families now have a real chance.
