I am not really sure some people here understand how percentages work.

But I learned on the Outpost that economic and violent crime statistics between the USA and certain countries in northern Europe aren't comparable because of the vast difference in populations, even though all those statistics refer to percentages

Population density may play a factor in your crime statistics. Also the reporting is going to play a large role in how those statistics play out. Hell, even cities here report violent crime differently. What one city counts as a violent crime, another may not.

This just in: Unemployment low where nobody lives.



8 out of 10 of those areas listed with low unemployment are booming oil/gas areas now.


They're fracking the hell out of every square inch of land in UT ND and TX

So basically unemployment is really, really high in the Republican-controlled parts of California.
