Their literacy rates follow a few years after Cobalt production. So the less cobalt they mine, the less educated they get.

It's the same thing in every country: India, China, etc. The more money they make, the more education and higher quality of life they have, and the faster they can stop doing whatever you don't want them to do and move on to doing stuff like innovating.

Somehow I think people like you don't want Africans to get educated at all so you'll still hate it.

People are downvoting you, but you're right. Reddit is a very small subset of the world population. If Reddit actually accurately represented the attitudes of anyone, the world would look at lot different, not that Redditors are right about everything.

And due to all the media attention, this is becoming one of the most watched and reported on WCs of all time.

End to end encryption will literally solve everything no matter what the network hardware is doing. That's why all companies require you to use VPN from your home no matter what networks or hardware you're using.

The reason the US government's "solution" is just "avoid Huawei" and not "use encryption" is because THEY want to be able to see what you do.

I don't think that's bad news because I think half of the median American protein consumption is about right, considering the penchant for overeating a lot of Americans have. Keep in mind:

42% of Americans are obese.

31% of Americans are not obese but are overweight.

https://www.niddk.nih.gov/health-information/health-statistics/overweight-obesity

So nearly 3 out of 4 Americans are eating too much.

And no, out of those 31%, the percentage of those who are bodybuilders is very tiny. Unless you're literally a bodybuilder with sculpted muscles and try to keep fat as low as possible, if your BMI is too high, you're almost certainly overweight.

It's a common theme in society, and often times so-called feminists and liberals advocate for this type of thinking: Men are capable of a thing called responsibility, but women are not.

It's something both conservatives and liberals seem to agree on, and it's one of the reasons why women get less jail sentences than men for the same type of crime. The disparity is so great that it even overcomes racial biases in the judicial system: a Black woman will get less jail time than a White man for the same type of crime.
