The HDI index doesn't have the USA as #1 and some awful socialist hellholes above it in the ranking, so there must be something flawed in it because USA USA USA is #1!!!!!!1

People are having lots of fun with it in the Amazon comments section.

Oh baby. The company I work for has a facility in Denmark and I've been itching to get sent there since I started. From what I hear, you get treated like a king, politically incorrect humour is practically encouraged in the workplace(heaven) and a chef prepares your food in the break room. The only downside is that it costs $100+ to do your laundry(wtf?????)

maybe everyone wears dryclean only prom dresses.

what !? .. it's a possibility, you don't know that they don't.

Haha, what? It costs a maximum of 5-6 dollars to do your laundry if you go to a laundromat, but most places/apartments have their own laundry rooms.

To not go back into hyperbole, perhaps they are ironing the shirts and trousers and complicated stuff like that.

Yeah, that's a surprise!

Björk skews iceland's result probably. ;-p

Heh

Everybody ready for a basic income?

Well people are homeless in my society because they have mental disorders and can't manage money. So really need somewhere for them to sleep and other social services, stuff that has been removed over the last thirty years. That said there are a lot of people that are becoming homeless now due to financial distress as our society has gotten meaner, and the bottom rung individuals can't compete with the migrants for jobs and the dole hasn't been increased by any meaningful amount so if you can't share a place you're screwed.

Not to disparage your vid godel, i will watch that when i'm done with the flash pilot (if i can make my way all the way through that thing, which is sort of ok, i'm just not really an american tv drama kind of guy, but it's the flash man, conflicted, it's not helped by the pointless love triangle bullshit, i don' fucking care, he's the flash and can run and shit, if i wanted tales of lovelorn distress i'd be watching general hospital or something, fugg you).

Why watch the flash if you can save the world by watching that ted talk?

I BURN bread and I ain't talkin toast n*gga.

Can't tell if it's an intentional pun or just misspelled.

Edit: ok, I'm not the only one who noticed. :)

You don't needs statistics or math to know that the system the USA is operating under is shitty. And to say that a corrupted dictatorship is somehow more dangerous or worse than a corrupted democracy is false. A corrupted democracy is a just a dictatorship in disguise.

OK this thread in general makes me cry, especially MisterE's brilliant analysis of economics, but this is fucking insulting to people who live in actual dictatorships.

This is not to say that the US and UK and other democracies don't have problems, but this false equivalency is fucking horseshit.
