Your retarded ranking has hong kong listed as number one most free people on the planet.

They are being beaten to death in the streets by chinese communist police on a damn near daily basis nowadays, or have you not paid attention?

Maybe you should take a day off from being stupid on the internet.

Hong Kong is listed as the most free country in the world.


Not sure when the list was made but prior to the CCP’s very recent intrusion into HK, HK was an incredibly free place.

Hence why they are pushing back against the CCP to such a degree.

I'm glad this is a semi anonymous board. There are people on Facebook losing everything over less than what some people are posting here.

That list is incredible. The top ten features a communist country, a country with a royal family and a country without free speech. I’m surprised they couldn’t find a spot for North Korea.

Minor point maybe, but the United States isn’t even close to the freest country in the world.


I’m not reading your bullshite list, but when people literally risk their lives to try to sneak into your country, even knowing they may be jailed and deported because that is a better option than where they currently live, I think we are pretty damn free. We have our issues in the US, but we are the best damn country in the world, and everyone needs to wake the frick up and start acting like it again.

I don’t agree with the riots or looting but this is an about “hardship“ or having success.

Specifically what societies have better healthcare for the poor and what do America’s poor not have access to that other country’s poor do.


Not that I disagree with the rest of what you’re saying, but you only qualify for Medicaid if you make below a certain amount, and that amount is very low. Paying for insurance out of pocket is unrealistic for someone who doesn’t make a high salary, and a hospital visit can result in a bill that’s 5 figures very easily.

Inability to pay that bill ruins your credit and follows you around for years, making life quite difficult financially.

A lot of people are in debt that can be totally traced back to a medical emergency, and that’s really unfortunate.
