        So the entire metric for ‘shithole’ to you is based on how many people ride electrified trains? Really? Nothing about, say, their economy or their standard of living or their record on human rights or anything like that?

            No? Where did I say this?

            You implied it when you suggested, to my reply that Canada might not be a shithole country, that it was due to the whole train thing.

            Right, because they’re doing so well on that front…

            And the country with the flawless human rights record is what? Iceland because there’s no one to oppress since everyone’s related to everyone else? Great. The rest of 200-some other countries are shitholes by that measure. Again, not the best metric.

            Let’s talk about your country now. Where do you live? Will you even volunteer that information?
