Pic from the “War on Drugs” slideshow: Look at that extended magazine at the center just below the 40mm grenades. That one’s gotta have a 50 round capacity. Never seen one quite like it.

Yeah. Went along with that “scientific” study. re: #202 Dark_Falcon

Gus has a point. Income inequality may be greater here, but ‘depth of poverty’ is far less, that meaning that the poor here are less poor than the poor there. And while the rich are richer, the government is less corrupt and honest people have a better chance. That’s not to say Latin American nations don’t try to improve, for some (Brazil and Columbia for example) are honestly trying and they are improving.

One could also say it appears to be higher here because we more billionaires. We have a said 20 percent which you divide by the countless numbers of billionaires in the USA. While in those countries you’re dividing the 20 percent by relatively few millionaires and maybe a handful of billionaires.
