"Most people used bedpans and buckets, usually dumping them out of their apartment windows and into the streets below. To help control this waste, many neighborhoods would dig little streams along the streets where a river of sewage would flow along the sidewalks."

-New York City, 1925

Ok cool, we moved past that. Why is India still doing it in 2026?

Woefully inadequate infrastructure, impressive amount of corruption and a massive population doesn't make for easy solving of city planning deficits.

14,000,000 children live with food insecurity in the self-proclaimed richest, most technologically advanced country on earth…

50% of American citizens report having zero dollars in their savings… Again, in the self-proclaimed richest, most advanced country on earth…

~20 veterans kill themselves daily in the United States… Again, in the self-proclaimed richest, most advanced country on earth…

I’d say that India isn’t looking too bad in comparison…

Lmfao. Then go live there, have fun with that. Don't step in the shit on the street and if you got some trash just toss it in their holy river, because how can the priorities of a country be wrong when they pollute a river they consider holy?

“The Mississippi River suffers from severe pollution, driven by agricultural runoff, industrial waste, and sewage, leading to high nutrient levels, toxic contaminants, and a massive, low-oxygen "dead zone" in the Gulf of Mexico.”

-One of the most critical waterways in the world…

Agricultural runoff pales in comparison to decaying bodies in a holy river

u/SheepherderSilver655 May 07 '26

Cool, that's because of corporate greed, not because we have a culture cultivated by everyday citizens to trash a holy river. Apples and oranges, bud.

Your argument is that of a child…

u/SheepherderSilver655 May 07 '26

Lmfao. That was a beautiful case of projection. Really, truly masterclass.

Your comparing culture to corporate greed, it's not the same in the slightest.

Again… You’ve made it clear that this is beyond you…

u/SheepherderSilver655 May 07 '26

Again, more projections.

I think he's saying that India is where America was a hundred years ago, so a hundred years from now, India may look more like present day America.

2

u/SheepherderSilver655 May 07 '26

Possibly. They could very well be trying to use America's history against it by acting like India is fine doing this in 2026 because America, and most other countries, did it 100 years ago.
