I thought I had provided a source when I started spitting out sentences and statistics like: "Because I could only
find the following on the CIA page." But I can make it even easier for you if you would like:
>> "Physicians per 100k:4 (this is 10th lowest...)"
> Where are you getting 4 per 100K from?
> The CIA factbook says 4 per 1,000.
Or do you need a source for the math? I do not think converting 0.04/1,000 to 4/100,000 is part of the proprietary math instruction I received at the state-apologist reeducation camp.
> The CIA Factbook currently says 23.6% for improved
> sanitation facilities, versus 26% mentioned in the
> article. Is this 3 percentage points of decrease that
> important?
I was not making a judgement about the merits of the 3% drop, merely reporting what I found when I could only verify 25% of the stats that you said I could verify any of. You thought that an 8% increase was noteworthy, why is a 3% move the other way so inconsequential? I just noticed that you emphasized improved this is getting to bee too much, did you read the definition of improved?
> Meanwhile the the facts are: 'Infant mortality per 1,000 births fell from 152 to 114.9' and 'Maternal mortality per 100,000 births fell from 1,600 to 1,100'
> The point is there was improvement, not that Somalia
> is a great place to live based on first-world country
> standards, so saying, "Oh that is still the 3rd worst
> in the world!" is utterly irrelevant.
When I said the problem in Somalia was "failed economy and no rule of law" you replied that I "obviously have no
clue about the real happenings of Somalia." Nothing you have presented points to the conclusion that the economy has not failed or that Somalia is reaping the benefits of the rule of law. "Things have improved, Somalia is no longer the absolute worst place to live on earth" is not the same as "functional economy and effective national government."
Or do you need a source for the math? I do not think converting 0.04/1,000 to 4/100,000 is part of the proprietary math instruction I received at the state-apologist reeducation camp.
