Missiles and Poverty

Today in human geography we talked about a lot of different stuff. First we finished the population stats video with the Swedish guy. Then we talked about how although the United States is doing very well on average, we still have poverty in many places. We started discussing if richer people should share their wealth with people with less money. I don't want to sound rude or arrogant or anything like that, but I was so disheartened to see so many peoples hands go up when Mr. Schick asked if rich people shouldn't share their wealth. I just don't understand. The only difference between people like us and people that live on the streets is the amount of money we have in our banks. We all deserve the same opportunities. Anyways, we somehow got onto the topic of the relationship between the United States and North Korea. Right now, it isn't the great. In fact, North Korea is (presumed) to be currently successfully testing out nuclear missiles that could reach the United States. I agree that Kim Jong-un id probably playing the same game as Donald Trump. North Korea probably is trying to show the world its military capability and threat. However, it is interesting to see two world leaders on the brink of a very serious problem, call each other "old man" and "short and fat" on twitter. What a world we live in.
