We should stop saying we want development because it's a lazy and meaningless word. What country is developed and if they are developed why haven't the stopped developing themselves?

When we say development we create a pie in the sky that has no real meaning. It says nothing about solving problems and worst it puts the responsibility of making a society work on the government.

If we say 'development' we say nothing.

He said, “NO.” I told him, “My son is Bill Gates’ son-in-law.” He said, “OK.” This is exactly how politics works! that is political development
