Your number is a bit off. It’s more around 569000 per person.

Isn’t most of this due to India and China?

China’s poverty rate fell from like 88% in 1981 to basically nothing today.

Massa-fucking-chusetts.

Bad apples make the whole place suck ass.

Tell me you’ve never been outside your city without telling me you’ve never been outside your city.

A lot of US cities have really suspect lead pipes (Chicago, for one) and in general the water quality is highly dependent on the age of your building.

A shocking number of US cities also run their pipes through chemical spills (like Pasadena) and dilute the pollutants to below the legal limit.

A large number of “public washrooms” are tucked behind “please purchase to use” signs, even if they are de facto public washrooms.

The US has been shockingly and incredibly open with it’s racism in a way that other countries lack. Being from East or Southeast Asia is just begging to get screamed at in some neighborhoods. My fault for not being one of the “right” minorities, I guess.

Canadian living in America, and I hate it here. It’s not pretentious to say that America fucking sucks, because living in American cities objectively fucking sucks.

I’m sure small-town America is nice, though.

Shit country, great pay in a few fields.

If you’re skilled labour and not a software engineer, just move to Canada tbh.

This is why our rights are constantly being eroded.
