Added: 2026-05-27

[00:00:00]We've got too many people who are poor.

[00:00:04]Millions.

[00:00:07]And there's no perspective as to how you're going to get them out of this poverty.

[00:00:14]And what it requires you got to build roads.

[00:00:21]You got to build factories.

[00:00:24]You got to develop farms.

[00:00:27]You got to train people capacity take them at universities and technicalities and so on. All of it requires capital.

[00:00:38]We can dream about all of these things if you don't answer this question.

[00:00:42]Where do you get the money to build the road?
