Last night in Real Time with Bill Maher, the HBO presenter pointed out all the reasons why the People’s Republic of China is defeating the United States in almost everything.
“New rule: you will not win the battle of the 21st century if you are a silly country,” began Maher. “And Americans are a silly people.”
“Do you know who doesn’t care that there is a stereography of a Chinese man in a book by Dr. Seuss? China, ”he said. “All 1.4 billion of them could fly a crouching tiger, flying f * ck. Because they are not a silly people. At the very least, they are as serious as a fight in prison. “
Maher criticized China’s government style, but said: “There must be something between an authoritarian government that tells everyone what to do and a representative government that can do nothing.”
“Nothing moves in this affected colon of a country. We see a problem and ignore it, lie about it, fight about it, litigate endlessly, forfeiture clause, kick the road and then write a bill where a half-hearted solution will not work for 10 years, “said one Maher discouraged. “China sees a problem and solves it. They build a dam. We debated how to rename it. “
Next, Maher praised China for its business acumen, for building cities, expanding the middle class and even buying Africa.
“In two generations, China has built 500 entire cities from scratch, transferred the majority of its huge population from poverty to the middle class and, mainly, dominated the 5G and pharmaceutical market. Oh, and they bought Africa, ”said Maher
Finally, Maher accused New York City’s Democratic mayor, Bill de Blasio, of degrading school standards by eliminating merit and replacing it with a school-based lottery system for advanced students.
“Do you think China is doing this, allowing the politically correct to stand in the way of cultivating its best and brightest?” Maher continued. “Do you think Chinese colleges are offering courses in ‘The Star Trek philosophy,’ Seinfeld’s sociology ‘and’ Surviving the coming zombie apocalypse ‘? These things are real, as is China. And they are having lunch. And believe me, in an hour, they’ll be hungry again. “
“We lost,” said Maher.
