Systemic racism
Most developed and prosperous country in the world is now systemically racist according to progressives. I don’t know if they have thought this thing out.
My thought is lack of education. In America education and family support for children are proven to lead to more successful people.
For other countries resources and corrupt governments.

I really like when athletes cry about oppression and unfairness when they make millions because they can run fast and jump high. Talk about oppression.

Their populations? Its an unpopular opinion but, as the saying goes, prove me wrong.
ETA populations and environment. The theory goes, if you live somewhere thats not very hard to survive then why work hard at all? Then you have places like Europe with brutal winters and surviving is much harder so you have to work together and prosper and come up with better ideas or you die.
I dont think thats a knock on people. Its more an indictment on mankind in general. We are all lazy bastards. There isnt anyone here who wouldnt, all things being equal, pick 8 hours of work for $100 over 10 hours of work for $100. Same at 6 and 4 and 2. Its why we invented agribusiness, AC, Sailing, fishing, etc. Even the implements of war. All of it made it easier to do what we set out to do. And, at the core of all of that, is survival. So if where you started was super easy then yeah. Why bother. L-I-V-I-N

The government. Always the government.
Even in good situations the government is by far the biggest barrier to progress.
