Well yes, but so is Canada, which has a higher HDI than the US.

Parent was asking why Mexico is excluded from the list while Canada is not.

By "don't have incentive" I'm just referring to an on-paper incentive from an HDI ranking.

Canada has roughly the same HDI ranking as the US, whereas Mexico is somewhat lower. So from the "looking for a better life" perspective, Canadians don't have an incentive to move to the US (other way around actually, from HDI).

Just a guess though.

Janeway's toilet would just be full of coffee that's had the caffeine extracted. So...decaf. Blech!

Not to mention mortgage interest.

If I wanted to give it a bold facelift I'd just use the top one and remove the letters. Gives it an arrogant, "if you have to ask what this is..." vibe, which is probably a good thing for them.

Economic policies, sure. But there are social policies and perhaps more importantly a culture of intolerance that can affect people over a wide range of economic status.

I think I'd just add "straight white people" to the qualifier and then I'd agree though.

IIRC that was the release that cleaned up the make output substantially.

I really don't think it's the devs driving these decisions...

Ok so it is fully qualified then? I'm just confused because it sounded like you were saying I wasn't using the term correctly in your other comment.

English isn't even the official language of the United States


we don't have an official language.

Various states have official languages (19 states + DC don't have any official language); of these states, English is indeed official, with a few states also recognizing native languages as official alongside English.

Of course that's beside the point, as even calling this sort of racism "thinly veiled" would be far too charitable.
