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.
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.
According to the graph plenty of actually developing countries are doing better than America.
My knee-jerk reaction is that it’s a feature, not a bug.
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.
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!
