      I don’t know how North Korea got the famine down like that.

        In the late 90s the US started humanitarian aid to help them with the famine.

    Personally, I’m not entirely sure a graph trusting official North Korean development markers should be taken super seriously.

        The US has become a dangerous place but that statement is utterly ridiculous

          Why? I’m betting everything you know about NK originates with the CIA and US propaganda

            Oh and you have personally been there? And all the other people who visited are lying? And the refugees who are making it out alive are lying, too?

                What are your sources? I’m genuinely asking.

    Whoa, the y-axis isn’t even exaggerating the discrepancy by setting zero higher or using a non-linear scale. The US has just quietly been drifting toward developing country status. Oof.

      My knee-jerk reaction is that it’s a feature, not a bug.

      According to the graph plenty of actually developing countries are doing better than America.

    America has tens of millions of people living off of wages/benefits far below the poverty line. Prices are skyrocketing and nothing else is except for profits. Homelessness is now a crime, to be a slave in a for-profit prison where you’ll labour day and night and be fed rotting bread and sleeping on a paper thin cot. Welcome to the new world order.
