This study is such bullshit. They took 300 teabags and boiled them in 600ml of water while stirring at 750rpm for an unspecified amount of time, and claim their method to be an accurate simulation of making a cup of tea.

It’s in quotes because the headline is quoting a source rather than reporting information that the newspaper has evaluated themselves.

It might not contribute to the conversation, but I thought your response was worth an upvote.

The US ranks below many nations not considered developed as well. I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make.

I cited two metrics, not one: maternal mortality and life expectancy. The US is also in the bottom 60 for income inequality.

You made a claim first, so you should provide your citation first as well.

How is it better? Several people have pointed out that standards of living in the United States are well below most developed nations. There US ranks 48th in the world in life expectancy, and 66th in the world in maternal mortality, behind Egypt, Ukraine, Lebanon, Romania, and… the Gaza Strip.

The accusations date to 2010 and he gave up his citizenship in 2012.

This is false. It still has areas in which it could improve, but it is a thousand times better than twitter.
