"As Americans, we have this naïve assumption that people all over the world are struggling and way behind us. They’re not. Sweden and South Korea have more advanced high speed internet networks. Japan has the most advanced trains and transportation systems. Norwegians make more money. The biggest and most advanced plane in the world is flown out of Singapore. The tallest buildings in the world are now in Dubai and Shanghai. Meanwhile, the US has the highest incarceration rate in the world."

This blog post is problematic and especially overlooks the differences between a man’s experience traveling alone and a woman’s. But it’s worth reading, and it’s mostly pretty accurate. I’m mostly reblogging to give a hearty amen to its first paragraph, because that’s exactly how I feel about the US. I love it, it’s home, they’re my people, that’s my turf, but by God I need some distance because it is not in a good place.

I think Iran and/or China might have a similar incarceration rate, but yes.

I thought  most of this was common knowledge? Particularly about Japan, Sweden, and South Korea.
