This is a silly argument. The 'If' is absurd in the face of reality. People leave not because of speculation if where they are going it the same as where they are, but that where they want to go is better than where they are. Do you really think you can convince Pakistanis to stay home based upon that 'If'?
I welcome Pakistanis to the US, pal. I worked with a few Iranians and Pakistanis. Their smarts contributes to the greatness of the US, not Pakistan. Your loss. Our gain.
You're misunderstanding me. I
never claimed Pakistan is "better" than USA on average. I just claimed there are
FEW things that are better.
I am not claiming the reality is so is because of IF.
So to clarify, America outclasses Pakistan in science, technology, education, economy, healthcare etc.
But there are a few things here or there that we can agree might be better. That's what i'm claiming. Urban design is one of them.
Also Pakistan is not as bureaucratic as America. Besides this is not the 1950s/60s/70s. In those decades we can argue that Pakistan can compare to America & Canada.
But we aren't living in those days anymore. And yeah I know Pakistanis contribute to healthcare, labor, education and others in America.
The only gain for us is one less headcount in our overpopulated country. And maybe some sending money back home.
But I don't renounce my claim that America is heading in the same direction as Pakistan with rising population.
Pakistan had a good head start in the first few decades of independence, but overpopulation ruined it.
It's another factor America can learn from Pakistan.
Pakistan in the meantime is heading to becoming another ***hole like Bangladesh, thanks to increasing population density.
