Woah, what happened in China 2015-2017?
RFK Jr is Right!
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
You could also say “I trust neither” but apparently you are into dictators
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.
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”
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.
