The problem with Black Economic Empowerment in South Africa is that it has not done enough to reverse the legacy of apartheid. Much research shows that, including mine. Do not buy the lies Trump told at his pantomime. This is why research, universities and academic freedom are important.

If people normalize this lawbreaking instead of pushing back, it will be very hard ever to restore the system of government that most of us grew up assuming it would be in place. Trump’s disregard for US constitution ‘a blitzkrieg on the law’, legal experts say

This chart is an indictment of the US for-profit health care system. All of those lost years are the cost of profits being claimed.
A visualization showing that while other developed nations achieve life expectancies of 82-84 years with health spending of $3,000-$6,000 per capita, the United States spends nearly $10,000 per capita only to achieve a life expectancy of 78.7 years (as of 2018). Japan, Spain, and other nations lead with longer lives at far lower costs, while the US stands as a stark outlier – spending the most for worse health outcomes.
