Loading ...It seems like Gross would have us give into globalization because it isn’t awkward like a return to American success and prosperity would be. Best to not be so gauche as to be posperous while the rest of the wstern world is flat on its back.
No thanks Bill. Globalization is the enslavement of everyone (save for the uber-elite) under the pretext of go-along-to-get-along and the reality of one-size-fits-all governance, aka: the equal distribution of mediocrity to all. I’ll keep my non-imperialist nationalism and my well-informed/prudent economic protectionism. No one else will protect my interests like me and mine.
~”Most of our arresties make it to prison. Can’t say the same for many other countries.”~
Thre are other factors that cook the books in favor of a higher incarceration rate.
1.) The USA is the #1 destination of criminals.
2.) The graph doesn’t not distinguish between foreign nationals incarcerated and citizens.
3.) The graph does not account for the rate of recividism, (albeit that in the USA it is among the highest).
4.) We are notoriously lagging in our rate of executions for death row inmates. Look at China, Japan & the Philippines.
5.) Due to #4, criminals commit more henious crimes knowing they won’t fry for them.
Really Bill, get a grip.
