    Norway (GDP: $480,000 - 550,000; PPP: $510,000 - 620,000) beats US (GDP: $28,750,000 - 31,820,000; PPP: $25,680,000 - 31,820,000)

    Norway (GDP per capita: $86,700 - 96,600; PPP per capita: $91,100 - 109,500) beats US (GDP per capita: $84,800 - 92,800; PPP per capita: $75,500 - 92,900)

    18 gold and 41 total versus 12 gold and 33 total.

    Norway (1 gold for $5,100 per capita) beats US (1 gold for $7,400 per capita).

    Is that better? Or does that make silly confusing headlines for the average person?

    Unfortunately Nazis and genocide are a reality of life today, well done you if you can insulate yourself in a bubble to ignore it but that won’t last long if they’re allowed to proliferate.

    They use propaganda to push the narrative that the US is the best at everything, since about as long as anyone alive can remember. I think we can excuse The Guardian doing the same in the opposite direction to push the narrative that they’re not the best, and that in fact a social democratic country is better.
