Hmm. If you are saying we are all interconnected, relying on the diverse resources, products, and gifts from around this small planet to do the things we want to do, e.g. care for our sick, advance the common good, protect the vulnerable, provide stable sources of food _so that_ our global population can grow in a safe, equitable, sustainable manner toward lives full of fulfillment and wonder, away from subsistence living that steals time and health and hope from those stuck with no other choice, then, yes.

But if you mean the US should take credit, then, no.



The US has injected untold billions into the Indian market through off shoring phone support. India has made hundreds of millions of dollar scamming America's most vulnerable population.


US has not injected billions into India! Capitalist companies trying to find cheaper and disposable labour has done it. Of course the US Government police allows that but the policy is there because of these companies not other way around.

> scamming America’s most vulnerable population

Nothing from that goes to Government taxes or public benefits. These people are not out of poverty by scamming.

please try not to down punch some positive news from “Third world countries” if you don’t have any constructive criticism


Funny how this comment has not been flagged while the relatively harmless comment above has been flagged for driving tangential discussions (rather criticizing China's hard policies).


How much did USA's MLMs, unhealthy food companies and ponzi schems steal from the world?


Not sure but I'd love to see the data if you have it.
