Sounds to me like he just wants to kill brown people.

That's pretty fricked up.

There's a big (and growing) divide between the haves and have nots in the country. This chart is surprising, but not shocking.


Maybe.....but when will people realize that just because someone else has more, that didn’t take anything from you?

This method blatantly states that you actual personal opportunities and quality of life matter less on your ability to flourish than if someone else has more.

Let that sink in a sec.

Moreover, the child flourishing rank of the USA (39th) is also poor compared with many other HICs, and even some middle income countries (MICs).' The 'sustainability' part of the index ranks countries on how their per-person emissions compare with a 2030 target giving a two-thirds chance of keeping global average temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial times.


Completely exposed themselves. We are the global leader in carbon emissions reductions for the past 2 decades. This is just straight propaganda. I'm guessing the further you look into the index the more they look like frauds compiling the list.

Bosnia and Hertzagovina


So that's why there's so much outward migration from the US to Bosnia!

Total propaganda.

A lot of the social experiments being performed in these highly ranked countries will inevitably fail.

Whew. I guess we won't be so attractive to foreigners. I think it's safe to say we can cease construction on the wall.

The US has a much larger population than the countries ahead of them.

Their welfare and entitlement programs will deteriorate over time as their population ages just like everybody else's. Quite funny when all governments are backing themselves into these holes and they can't figure out why debt financing and high taxes isn't enough keep them funded.

Here’s a what it’s not saying:

- this is based on how much the government takes care of you

- an American child has the greatests ability to make something of themselves in the world.

- our demographic performance is better than everyone’s. Meaning...our blacks perform better than the rest of the worlds, out Hispanics perform better, or Asians perform better, our whites (based on first gen/second gen)

- most of these countries don’t receive a huge amount of poverty stricken third world aliens

Well I guess the countries that beat us in both categories we can discontinue aid and military support. Looks like they have it all figured out

Garbage. These reports represent some of the most intellectually dishonest and academically insubstantial studies available. If you ever look up who is behind these things, they are mostly hacks with "advanced" degrees from countries whose academic standards are poor and open to fraud and bribery.

Exactly...why do y'all post or believe any of the bullshite "rankings" or "studies" the UN puts out?

Get it through your head, the UN will never see the USA in a good light so long as we have relatively small government and remain relatively free.

I like that somewhere in WHO a guy is saying "Ok we need a chart that make some African shitholes look okay and a way to keep that climate change grant for emission studies, pitch ideas!" And this is what came from that.
