It's the same the whole world over. It's the poor what gets the blame. It's the rich what gets the pleasure. Ain't it all a bleedin' shame.

JD Vance doesn't want Americans to know this ๐คซ
Compared to Americans, British people are less likely, per capita, to be:
killed
killed by a gun
killed by a knife
killed in a road accident
killed by a drug overdose
killed by their own police
killed by a far-right extremist
someone who dies by suicide
someone who dies prematurely
someone incarcerated in prison
someone who is morbidly obese
someone who dies from excess mortality
someone financially devastated by medical costs*
someone subject to weaker equality before the law*
someone living in a significantly flawed democracy*
someone who spends higher % of income on childcare
*Equality before the law:
The UK ranks significantly higher on the World Justice Project Rule of Law Index 2025 (14th globally) vs. the US (27th).
*Democracy:
The UK remains a solid full democracy (ranked in the top 20), while the US has fallen to 34th and is classified as a flawed democracy, with notable drops in civil liberties, government functioning, and checks on executive power.
*Medical costs:
The US is the only high-income country without universal coverage. It has high out-of-pocket costs and surprise billing, spends nearly twice as much per capita on healthcare as the UK, but ranks worse on life expectancy, preventable deaths, maternal mortality, infant mortality, amenable mortality, and overall health system performance.
But apart from that... ๐
@nothingPC@LozzaFox So, we shouldn't make sex with children illegal because kids have sex?
Or, we shouldn't build walls because some people have long ladders?
That's not a very logical perspective, is it?
@SeeDeeMcLeod@LozzaFox Maybe it's because he wants children to have the ability to send him pictires of themselves. I can't shake off the feeling of how creepy that is.
@gilarutrina@LozzaFox@resistance76365 Stopping children from sending nudes pictures of themselves to someone is destroying the country?
Why do YOU want children to be able to send you these pictures?
And OUR country? You don't even live in the same country as him.
