ECONOMIC GROWTH IN GDP PPP
DURING THE 25 YEARS 1998-2022
(GDP PPP or Gross Domestic Product at Purchasing Power Parity, measures the economic growth that consumers — which includes employees — experience, whereas traditional GDP measures the economic growth that producers — the owners of businesses, the investors — experience)

CONCLUSIONS
China and Russia were the most successful economies during the 25 years (inclusive) 1998-2022, especially for investors in those countries, but also for consumers and workers there. China was the top, then Russia. India was close behind Russia. South Korea was a little better than the global average. U.S., EU, and especially Japan, performed considerably worse than the global average.
HOMELESSNESS
Russia had 64,077 homeless in 2010 but 11,285 homeless in 2021.
U.S. had 637,077 homeless in 2010 and 582,462 homeless in 2022.
Russia has 144,237,000 people; U.S. has 333,288,000 people.
If America in 2010 had the same percentage homeless as Russia did in 2010, it would have had 144,660 homeless then. If America in 2021 had the same percentage homeless as Russia did in 2021, then it would have had 26,666 homeless then.
IMPRISONED
Russia has 300 prisoners per 100,000 residents, and that’s the 29th-highest rate of the listed 219 countries.
America has 531 prisoners per 100,000 residents, and that’s the 6th-highest rate of the listed 219 countries. Until recently it ranked as having the world’s #1 highest imprisonment-rate, but now the 5 worst are 1=El Salvador; 2=Cuba; 3=Rwanda; 4=Turkmenistan; 5=American Samoa.
During the past year, America brought down its imprisonment-rate 17%, and Russia brought down its imprisonment-rate 12%. El Salvador increased its imprisonment-rate 92%. Cuba increased its imprisonment-rate 56%. Rwanda increased its imprisonment-rate 25%. Turkmenistan increased its imprisonment-rate 4%. American Samoa increased its imprisonment-rate 56%. If imprisonment-rate is a measure of a dictatorship, then America at 531 per 100,000 is the most dictatorial of the large countries, and Brazil, at 390 prisoners per 100,000 is the second-most dictatorial of them. However, Pakistan, which is another large-population country, has an imprisonment-rate of only 38 per 100,000, but is clearly a dictatorship. It’s certainly no democracy. Although it’s a military dictatorship serving its aristocracy, it isn’t a police-state.

Investigative historian Eric Zuesse’s latest book, AMERICA’S EMPIRE OF EVIL: Hitler’s Posthumous Victory, and Why the Social Sciences Need to Change, is about how America took over the world after World War II in order to enslave it to U.S.-and-allied billionaires. Their cartels extract the world’s wealth by control of not only their ‘news’ media but the social ‘sciences’ — duping the public.

#1 highest imprisonment-rate El Salvador During the past year El Salvador increased its imprisonment-rate 92%. President Nayib Bukele: “just few years ago El Salvador was called ‘The murder capitol of the World, today my country is the safest in Western hemisphere'” Check the video in Rumble: “El Salvador President Nayib Bukele REJECTS THE ELITES and rebuilds his country” What if a president of a nation would stand up radically against the evil elites, and rebuild his nation so that the people will prosper? That’s exactly what Nayib Bukele, the president of El Salvador, did. A few years ago he took… Read more »

I make more then $13k a month online. It’s enough to comfortably replace my old jobs income, especially considering I only work about 11 to 12 hours a week from home. I was amazed how easy it was after I tried it….

U.S. with Western allies is losing (have already lost) their leadership in the World, and situation, because their Jewish infiltrated governments Jews bowing idiotism, is lost for forever.
El Salvador cracked down heavily on the criminal cartels and gangs. Thus the imprisonment shot up but now as a consequence people feel safe enough to build a future. So statistics can only tell you so much
