buddascrayon@lemmy.worldto memes@lemmy.world•I looked it up. I struggle to live not as well as a Norwegian prisoner.61·1 day agoSomeone else posted total inmate numbers from 2022 and it was less that 4,000. Out of 5.5 million people, that’s doing really well compared to the U.S.
Here’s a small comparison. Oklahoma has a population less than 5 million. Yet their prison inmate population is over 20 thousand. And if you look at all the states, it’s a similar story. Especially in “red states”.

Go figure, when people are well paid and living decent lives they are less prone to commit crimes.
I also find it funny that one of the “downsides” is that CEO’s and other higher corporate positions can’t earn as much as other places. There’s and interesting correlation in there I think.

He’s not going to get cholerae he’s going to get e coli. Hopefully he will eschew antibiotics and just fucking die and save us the trouble of his existence.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s entirely possible that this fuck weed is saying one thing and doing another just to “prove his point” about germ theory being wrong. But it’s inconclusive that what you posted negates the possibility that he was playing in sewage water.
No you don’t understand. Women don’t matter.

This is why the DNC will fight to keep him exactly where he is. Just watch. In 3 years they will be funding his campaign against anyone who dares to challenge him in the primary.
