Happy, safe and #prosperous New Year to you all!!

Here's the source data for stat Statista chart. By the default sorting the #US is the #19th #most #prosperous #nation, behind Belgium, Austria, Norway ... well, most of Europe actually. And Singapore and Iceland. And New Zealand and Australia.

But hey! We're ahead of #Estonia (by a little) and Bulgaria. That's not so terrible, right?

Sort by #healthcare, and we're worse off than ... Armenia, Jamaica, Albania, Belarus, Iran, Croatia, Uzbekistan ... we're only nine places ahead of Nicaragua. Twentieth in education. 29th in living conditions.

Greatest nation on earth? Hah! Yeah, if you're a CORPORATION or a multimillionaire.

But hey, we're safe and secure in the US, right?

Nope. 69th place again. You're less safe in the United States than in Moldova, Serbia, Namibia or Laos.
Play with the chart a little. It's ... enlightening to see where the US's strengths are ... and its weaknesses.
