and yet as much as she hates the GWOT she is quick to prosper off of it by using her US Army boyfriend contact to get sponsored by the public affairs office for her latest story from FOB Sykes, Iraq. I’m sure her story will talk about how terrible the working conditions are for the third country nationals here, but I can attest that they are just fine, and are making good money - 24-times what they make in their home countries.

That Sarah has it good does not somehow contravene everything she writes about. I don’t know anything about her, but I can guess from your sketch. It merely means that Sarah has chosen to use her privileged position to destroy the system that made her so privileged. This might seem nonsensical to you, but apparently, to Sarah, social justice is more important than her own privilege.

GDP growth, incidentally, is a relatively worthless way of measuring improvement, since it does nothing to address income inequality. Growth can be unparalleled in a country while the fraction of the population in poverty can be continually increasing.

I’m reading “Confessions of an Economic Hitman” by John Perkins right now. It’s an enlightening inside look at what capitalism does to the developing world by someone who, for many decades, helped it do that. You might want to acquire a copy and read it.

Enjoyed your post. Sarah reminds me of a budding Arundhati Roy, the prize winning
Indian novelists who uses the capitalist system to make millions of dollars annually; but
runs around the world giving anti-capitalist speeches. Another person she reminds me of
is Indra Nooyi, head of Pepsi Cola, giving her middle finger speech.

I did note that Sarah was not found in any Muslim country trying to promote the rights of
women. I figure she can only make money if the topic criticizes the U.S.
