Im disturbed with these “opinion” articles and influence they have.

it still make zero sense to me why student loan payments on hold. should we also put car loan payment on hold? credit card payments?

yes..people took loans without thinking if they pay off debt. is it every borrower? No.

easy scheme for political party to get votes. make perfect sense to me why sofi would sue.

i always think to my home country. being born in USA like winning lottery. just green card and no citizenship is like lottery. endless opportunity to do something in USA. no mentally and physically ok adult in USA have reason to be in poverty.

but of course USA people thinking government magically solve all of it. true irony that developed country fall into our third world thinking mindset.

What third world countries think 'government magically solves' everything? If anything, trust in government is much higher in regions with more political stability and prosperity.

its not that we believe government DOES solve everything or trust government. it’s that we believe government is the answer and only government responsible.

constant load shedding? parliaments job to fix.

people dont want to obey traffic rule? could it be something with our culture? of course not. government problem to fix.

Ok..trash everywhere in street? government problem to fix. i will say government should fix it, ignoring that it is myself throwing that trash out on the street instead of in bin even when rubbish bin is right there at hand distance.

not enough jobs? government should fix by hiring everyone.

do we trust government, no. but my party is good and yours corrupt. if my prime minister favorite actually shoots child it is okay and i will justify it.

thats the type of mindset. every problem i have.. it is someone else’s fault. i have zero responsibility.

So you see people both in the third world and first world with this mindset? Is it possible that this mindset isn't actually the cause of the third world's problems? Could it be that the governments are actually worse in the third world?
