Re: [FRIAM] Check it out
The presterity.org site look good! (Good insofar as discouraging content goes.) Economist's Intelligence Unit reports that we are now officially broken. Well done, America! Full democracies (starting from the best): Norway, Iceland, Sweden, New Zealand, Denmark, Canada, Ireland, Switzerland, Finland, Australia, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Malta, United Kingdom, Spain, Mauritius, and Uruguay. We're #2 in the `Flawed democracies' after Japan and tied with Italy. Hmm, how is science & tech in Uruguay? http://www.eiu.com/public/topical_report.aspx?campaignid=DemocracyIndex2016 From: Friam on behalf of glen ?
