USA News and Poland - part 16 [1022]
@PolAmKrakow,
I guess I didn't make myself plain. My remarks
from yesterday had zilch to do with the real estate markets in
Poland vs the US, rather, they were a response to Rich's
assertion that the US is dominant in the world because of our
capitalist infrastructure.
I maintain once again that the US is indeed absolute tops in
terms of advertising and marketing in order to make things
appear a certain way, but which of course have nothing
whatsoever to do with reality.
America prides herself on her top of the line technology and
unparalleled progress in the fields of medicine, aerospace
etc. compared with say India or much of the Third World.
However, how much of those advanced strides in medicine
ever reach the broad swath of American citizens, bother desirous
as well as deserving of it??
Just remember, the most important and envied job in the world,
that of President of the United States, requires ZERO training,
that is certification or educational background. As the late, lamented
Jackie Mason so often observed, one can protect someone from a
bad haircut, but not from an incompetent president. Moreover, Mason
had plenty of money, he didn't need either the fame or adulation.
