Only 3? lol
It probably gets substantially worse if you exclude the top 10% wealth for each society.
that was my first thought too
What no McDonalds establishment in a country does to a mf
Actually, there is a McDonalds in Cuba.
Legally isn’t that area considered to be US soil, like an embassy?
It’s still part of Cuba, but it’s on lease for undetermined term (to end it, both side would havd to agree or USA would have to unilaterally and completely withdraw). About jurisdiction:
Article 3 – Cuba retains ultimate sovereignty, but during the occupation, the U.S. exercises sole jurisdiction over the areas described in Article 1. Under conditions to be agreed on, the U.S. has the right to acquire, by purchase or eminent domain, any land included therein.
Of course as it is immediately obvious, it was an extortion and is really an occupation. Problem lies in that evicting the base would require military action and it would be a war.
There is a wide disparity between ethnic groups in the U.S. as well as gender. For example, an Asian woman is expected to live to 85.6, while for a Black man, the figure is 66.7 years.
Almost 20 fucking years! That’s beyond absurd, holy shit.
And the US lectures the world on human rights and admonishes countries for how they treat minority populations
: “Good! At least I got dat dere dem freee-dumbs, and at least I’m getting speshul treatmint for being whyte!”Freedom to be unemployed, go homeless, and starve to death.
