Broseph_Stalin 10/05/20 1:06:00 PM #29:	You'd think someone like the Pope who claims to care about the poor would be happy about the unprecedented decline in poverty, hunger, child mortality, illiteracy etc we've seen in the last few decades. But that would mean admitting that market-oriented economics, globalization, free trade, etc worked. That evidence based policy and not ideology works. Got to protect your edgy anti-capitalism aesthetic even if it means people will die!
