“It is patently ridiculous for the United Nations to examine poverty in America.”
-Nikki Haley
Dismantling A Society: How Empires Feed Off the Republic
Nikki Haley released a ferocious rebuke of a UN report detailing poverty in the United States.
As if she could will away or dismiss its findings simply by how angry she denounced it.
The life expectancy in the United States sits at 78.6 years (2) (https://edition.cnn.com/2017/12/21/health/us-life-expectancy-study/index.html?no-st=1529923969) whilst
Cubans can expect to live to 79.5 according to the World Health Organisation(3) (http://www.who.int/countries/cub/en/).
Cuba is of course a country that has been economically embargoed by the United States for over half a century.
Nikki Haleys ferocious retort comes amid a United Nations report examining poverty in the United States.
40 million Americans live in poverty,
18.5 million americans live in extreme poverty and
5.3million live in “third world conditions of absolute poverty” (4) (http://undocs.org/A/HRC/38/33/ADD.1).
“The Special Rapporteur wasted the UN’s time and resources,
deflecting attention from the world’s worst human rights abusers and
focusing instead on the wealthiest and freest country in the world.” :lol
-Nikki Haley.
the United States imprisons more people (both total and as a percentage of their population) than anywhere else on the planet.
Americans are 5 percent of the population whilst having 25 percent of the worlds prisoners.
This doublespeak has become the norm.
The US ambassador can say straight faced the US is the “freest country in the world” whilst having the highest percentage of its population in prison.
Significantly higher than Russia, China or Iran.
