And The Nation That Increased Prosperity The Most In The Last 5 Years Is...

...Rwanda.

 

 

And the biggest collapse in prosperity since 2009 has occurred in Greece - stunningly outpacing war torn, sanctioned Syria to the downside.

Some say Canada is just the 56th state.  So maybe that's it.

Curious about the down votes; Outfoxed is a must watch. All of MSM does it but Fox “News” takes it to a level that leaves my jaw on the floor.

 

Fox’s demographic is grandma and grandpa who don’t even know how to use Google or the “K-Mart Republican” who are easily brainwashed and manipulated – the ideal fodder for their agenda.

Yup, without the U.S.S.A. and it's money printing central bank and parasitic corporatocracy Canada and Mexico might be on the chart.

Found the chart, I guess the Tylers were embare assed about the old USSA and had to start the chart at the USA @ #10 spot 

 

here is the whole list of the "rest" http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2818646/Britain-leapfrogs-German...

 

Canada #5 down from #3 last year

I gave the same raw data to the BLS and their equations show USA is #1.

Take a look at the chart.  It starts at number 10, the USA ranking.  Canada is in the top ten as well as some other countries we expect to see but are not shown.

Yup, "Goldilocks countries":

Not too big, not too small, developed, temperate climate, no burden of imperialism and excessive MIC, no real enemies, healthy & educated work force.

Imagine that!

I'm not too thrilled with their site; but I've a more nagging concern brought to my attention.

There are now 55 as in Fifty Five , no typo - "No Go Zones" in Stockholm nowadays due to all the Refugees/Immigrants-turned Thugs/Rapists harbored from MENA Islamic Countries.  I hear that the Police are powerless (guess they don't allow for rubber bullets, H2O Cannons, Riot Police w/badass Hand2Hand Trng (Like Japan), other fun gear, not to mention the Incarceration AND Deportation DoublePlay).

Shouldn't this affect the "Prosperity Rating"?  SWE is ranked #2 on this list.  If their "Main City" is pretty much surrounded (I read one imporvised map) by these "Zones", shouldn't this affect an objective assessment?

Similar goes for Helsinki, Finland.

After "importing" immigrants/refugees (a lot from Somalia) you better don't enter certain parts of it. They don't break the law, they are just misunderstood, and any complaint is seen as racism and "unwillingness to embrace other cultures".

 

But this thing aside both Sweden and Finland are more than just their capital or even big cities and live there is good.

At 20% of Spain's GDP, Catalonia should be shown as a fork splitting off and to the upside.

Unfortunately, their vote 80% in favor os secession was declared null and void by the Spanish Spreme Court.  A move NOBODY could have seen coming.  NOBODY.

I've said it before and I'll say it again:

"If you subscribe to the humanist and political idea that people have an inalienable right of Free Association, then they also have the right to Disassociation."

The latter CAN happen peacefully and responsibly. The breakup of Czechoslovakia into the Czech and Slovak Republics (in the 1990s) is a clear example.

But this can only happen when Morons, Fanatics and Central Banksters are kept out of the process.

This is joke. India down ?!! Hardly. Still booming and growing. forget these stupid stats - just visit the country on occasion and you can easily tell. What a joke Rwanda over India !  Don't  start with the stupid rape shit either -- this is just propoganda to get all the feminist legislation eventually passed. They are going to have either Maxist culutural revolution there just like in the US and destroy all family and religion so they use an avialble issue. My guess is rape in India is still than in US on per capita but if you own the press you can make an issue you want. If they wanted, they could make "hairy ass" seem like the world's biggest problem by just repeating over and over, and then getting their bimbos and fags in Hollywood (eg. Paris Hilton) go around the world saying Global Hairy Ass needs to be eradicated or more like Global Warming will cause more Hairy Ass. 

 

Who are these clowns that made this shit up ?

India's GDP per capita is more than twice Rwanda's. So they must be using some made-up definition of prosperity that is basically meaningless.

Which makes the whole chart meaningless.

The size of the GDP is not the point; it's whether it's going up or down and by how much.

Take out the top 1% in the U.S.S.A. and we'd be competing with Greece.

Didn't half of Rwanda come to the US welcomed with open arms as refugees? I guess if the wealth of the country stays the same and you have less people, the per capita wealth increases even if the same handful of warlords still control it all.

The short answer is, "Yes, they did come." They are camped out near Presby Hospital in North Dallas ... with one particular family about to be in 'high cotton' as a result of a lawsuit settlement in their favor against Presby.

Do you think Greece, at a smaller scale is a sign (by adm application) of things

to come for other economies?

The economic recovery that the media and talking heads have been bantering around is a manipulated myth. A manipulated stock market distorted by recent economic policy hides and mask the real truth, in many ways it is ground zero in the war to convince us all is well.

The American people and Main Street will tell you they are far from convinced that it is smooth sailing ahead. Huge weakness in the economy has been shown by numbers that barely get by even after record amounts of stimulus. Fact is if QE or the massive government deficit spending that props up our economy is removed it will fold like a cheap umbrella.

Recent changes in how the GDP is figured , which boosted growth thus reducing the debt to growth ratio, and attempts to spin poor numbers regarding employment have been met with skepticism. We just put it on our tab and spin the clock as the debt grows larger. More on this subject in the article below.

"And the biggest collapse in prosperity since 2009 has occurred in Greece - stunningly outpacing war torn, sanctioned Syria to the downside."

Does collapse in prosperity include aerial bombs and missiles that include WMDs?... Tell that to the 200,000 dead and nearly 4 million displaced refugees and counting in Syria???...

I'll take a Greek austerity ridden collapse over a Syrian/Iraqi collapse any day of the week!
