offcourse Angela,
But today,
If Italy and rest EU, knew thse medicines one month before
she could save more, TRUE :cool-v:
now about Italy EU and America,
Lets see USA results, and we discuss again in one month,
if European Italy is more effective, or USA's Italy is more effective.
As for my Anti-Americanism,
I see how some Americans care about Italy, bringing mess and screaming for 'Lynch law', in the midle of the battle, to Italians,
PS
I wonder if now we discuss as mature and wise humans, or under emotional stress for reveange,
By USA's Italy, you mean New York?
Well, I guess it can look like that: Governor Cuomo, Dr. Fauci etc. all are New York Italian-Americans as are a good number of anchors on TV and financial media people. I refuse to claim DeBlasio; that isn't his real surname, and he's only half-Italian anyway.
Actually, it's the fact he's a dunce, and his far left "woke", "progressive" politics.
In actuality, however, this is the breakdown:
- White: 42.67%
- Black or African American: 24.27%
- Other race: 15.12%
- Asian: 13.95%
- Two or more races: 3.51%
- Native American: 0.43%
- Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander: 0.05%
Italian Americans are only one of the ethnic groups which make up the "white" community. There is a huge Jewish community, and Irish, German, Polish, and English "AMERICANS".
There's 8.5 Million people in New York City, and of those "only" about 800,000 are Italian Americans. By comparison there are 1.1 million Jews in the five boroughs. If you count the greater New York Metro Area it's 1.3 million Italian-Americans. It still means NYC has the 3rd greatest concentration of Italians outside Italy, after Sao Paulo, Brazil, and Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Then, there was the exodus out to the suburbs for many of them as they climbed the social/economic ladder, and not just New Jersey, but also Nassau and Suffolk Counties in Long Island. On Long Island they constitute 25% of the population.
I think I can say for certain New York has a better shot, because it has the United States behind it, and Italy has no one to help it.
When you start talking crap about lynchings I'm out. If you mean the things which happened in the early periods of immigration, Americans don't obsess over what one ethnic group did to another one over one hundred years ago. This isn't the Balkans.
New Yorkers don't care, not just now but as a general principle, whether you're Italian-American, or Irish American, or Jewish-American or some mutt with various ancestries, which is increasingly the case. Did you even look at one of Cuomo's briefings? He picks the people he thinks can do the job, whatever the ethnicity. People here don't pick who to save based on ethnic background.
As for me personally, I've lived here most of my life now, and traveled all over the country, and I can say that I've never felt disrespected or devalued in any way. I can't say the same for some parts of Europe. Yes, I'd go so far as to say that on the whole Americans do love Italy, as Trump said. Of course, I wish some help went with that, but Italy isn't in a union with the U.S.
Now, I'm going to have a glass of wine, listen to some music, and play Scrabble with my friend.
Wait, no wine until after the game. She's a shark!
