So apparently france has had similar rates of malnutrition deaths for years, and norway isn’t that far behind…
What the fuck?This is what happened when I pulled back the graph a single year:
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.
I would trust them over the US any day
Maybe you should look at the source, and see that it isn’t the US government compiling it. NK’s statistics reporting will always be suspect, but at least it isn’t being filtered through the Conservative Propaganda Machine.
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?
They are all actors. I mean … Duh?
/S
So yes, propaganda
What are your sources? I’m genuinely asking.
You could also say “I trust neither” but apparently you are into dictators
What you know about NK was provided to you by US empire.
The US isn’t the only nation with intelligence gathering capabilities, you know. When EVERYBODY is coming to the same conclusions, including people who are inclined to dislike us, it’s probably pretty close to true.
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.
In the future, when AI and automation has created a permanent 50%+ unemployment rate, any government assistance will be transactional. If you need food assistance, housing assistance, etc., you will be expected to work for it.
Other personal financial issues like homelessness, unemployment, and even high debt, will be criminalized, and those people will be sent to the work camps, where they will be leased out as Federal Work Slaves under the 13th Amendment, which will be known as “13s.” It will be illegal to be poor.
The cheap slave labor will replace even more paying jobs, and unemployment will increase, creating more inmates for the camps. Eventually there will be far more workers than available slave labor jobs, and we will have an excess of disgusting human workers, eating, breeding, getting sick, spreading rumors, encouraging rebellion, sabotaging, etc.,
Many can be sent to die in The Excursion®, but many more won’t be useful for that, and they’ll just have to be eliminated.
Freedom isn’t free, and this is the cost. Many people are going to have to surrender their freedom and their lives, so that better quality (wealthy) Americans can have satisfying lives. Preserving Freedom requires a lot of effort, and the work camps will provide that effort.
As someone once said “Arbeit Macht Frei” - Work Will Make You Free. So inspirational, it should be above the front gates.
North Korean mother’s tell their fuzzy eaters “finish your plate, don’t you know children are starving in America”
Woah, what happened in China 2015-2017?
RFK Jr is Right!
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.
