Absolutely... no measurement that doesn't calculate an index on a per capita basis can be taken seriously. Meanwhile, noone mentions that the USA has the highest incarceration rate per capita in the so-called free world, and they call themselves "Land of the Free". The constant propaganda has completely disconnected Americans from reality.

If we weren't so rich, we couldn't afford to imprison so much of our population!
