School should be year round with 3 trimesters having a 2-week break between each. To really get results in education we need privatizing. The NEA is a bad joke and the biggest part of the problem.

The longevity stats surprised me a little, but the US is pretty self-indulgent. I was surprised most by Japan that I thought was a heavy smoker country and how high on the list Australia was.

Thanks for the source.

The section on population under the poverty line is interesting. The US is ranked worse than places like Bulgaria and China.
