Anybody want a peanut?

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.

It was originally posted in 2019. Joke of course being that things associated with the 1920s would be relevant again in the 2020s.

Comic then shared as a meme with the 3rd panel being replaced with other panels. https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/things-were-bringing-back-in-the-2020s

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

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