Mexico rose up from 2006 to 2013, slowly started falling, then dropped off a cliff with AMLO, no I'm pretty confident in my assessment. Though I will admit to likely being wrong about the flawed democracy part, I looked at the score's color coding and may have read too much into it.

It's not a fully hard list on business friendliness, after all the start of this was pointing out that Saudi Arabia may be near the bottom but is above some actual (or at least sham) democracies. There has to be some plausible deniability in there so centrists can ignore when rankings change by the ideology of the Economist.

And saying Chile has been ruled by left or center-left for decades is pretty hilarious considering they only got rid of their Pinochet era constitution recently. In fact you'll notice that Chile dropped very noticeably in 2021 when they had their very publicized election on who was going to draft the new constitution. And rose again this year when it was rejected. There is blatantly an ideology aspect to these rankings that they don't talk about because it would call the whole list into question.
Sounds like it's more like measuring Western conservativism that's willing to ally with the US rather than democracy and buy lots of their stuff. Going back to Saudi Arabia, they fit three of four criteria

This shit is why misinformation and conspiracy peddling is regularly labeled harmful: yet another senseless tragedy that could've been avoided in so many ways in a healthier society/country. One way or another things always get this dark when nothing is done.


A Pennsylvania family found shot dead in their backyard last week in what police say appears to be a suicide pact, included a mother and daughter who loved bowling and were devout Christian conservatives, people who knew them said.

Morgan Daub, 26, and her parents, James Daub, 62, and Deborah Daub, 59, were found dead on the ground in the backyard of their home in York County, Pennsylvania, on the morning of Jan. 25, after police responded to a request for a welfare check from a neighbor.


The West Manchester Township Police Department has since said that notes left inside the house indicate that the family recently made a "joint decision" to end their lives. Police believe Deborah Daub shot and killed her husband and then was shot and killed by Morgan, who died by suicide. Police said there were no signs of forced entry or struggle and no evidence that anyone else had been present.

An investigation into the deaths has been closed.

People who knew the family expressed shock and heartbreak at the deaths. Morgan was described by members of the local bowling community as a shy, quiet young woman who was close with her mother and also a talented and avid bowler until she and her mother suddenly stopped visiting bowling stores and alleys in the area a few years ago, around the start of the pandemic.

“Morgan didn’t have a lot of words to say,” said Bret Stabley, who operates the pro shop at Bowlers Supply in York, Pennsylvania, where the mother and daughter were longtime customers. Stabley said he believed Morgan, whom he described as “very meek and quiet” but also “very bright,” was homeschooled and her mother often spoke on her behalf.

Stabley said he gave Morgan many bowling lessons over the years, and she became more sociable as she grew older. She was also “quite a good bowler,” he said.

Stabley said the Christian, churchgoing family “was never shy about letting anybody know what their beliefs were” when it came to religion and politics. Morgan and Deborah “very, very huge” supporters of former President Donald Trump, Stabley said.

“They were just so hell-bent on Trump winning, like this could be in the end if he doesn’t,” Stabley said, referring to an instance when he saw them just before the 2020 election. He said he stopped seeing the two after that.

A neighbor, who asked to remain anonymous for fear of personal or professional retaliation in their town, said the family had a "preoccupation with religion, especially on the dad’s part." The family's front yard was also "littered" with Pro-Trump political signs during the elections, and anti-abortion signs when Roe v. Wade was overturned, the neighbor said.

Terry Miller, the owner of Suburban Bowlerama, said Morgan and Deborah came to his bowling center a couple of times a week. “She grew up here,” he said of Morgan.

“To me, just watching their interactions they just enjoyed it, they seemed to spend a lot of time together,” he said.

But Morgan and Deborah suddenly stopped coming by around 2019, Miller said.

Looking back, he said, it was “definitely, definitely weird” that the two stopped coming in.

Stabley said he was disturbed to see recent videos appearing to show Morgan on YouTube. In the videos, which the West Manchester Township Police Department has also said appear to show Morgan, the young woman speaks in stream-of-conscious fashion about God, the Antichrist and conspiracies about Trump and the 2020 election. Stabley said he is haunted by Morgan’s laughter in the videos.

“I never, ever, ever saw Morgan in that state,” he said.

Detective Timothy Fink said in a statement to NBC News on Friday that Deborah Daub left a written document, signed Jan. 19, in which “she speaks of a joint decision” by her and Morgan to end their lives. It refers to the "evil that has mounted against Morgan," but does not go into further detail, Fink said.

Morgan and her father also left notes indicating that the family had planned how to carry out the shootings and made other preparations, including what to do with the family dog and assets.

Those notes were dated Jan. 24, a day before the bodies of the family were found.

Police said that the positioning of the bodies, the two guns found at scene, the shell casings and other evidence “support the account put forward by the written documents left behind by the family,” that “all three family members decided to end their lives on 1/24/2023.”

Meanwhile, the neighbor said they are in "shock and disbelief" that something like this could happen "so close to home."

"When I interacted with them in person, they kept it under wraps," the neighbor said. "I didn’t see that break through the surface at all."
And garunteed no fucker spreading any of that bullshit will ever accept or even consider responsibility for any of this.

As per the article, the most common tactic used in these cases is last one with the gun uses it on themselves. Don't know whether it's worse they left it to their kid to finish instead of starting with her or not. Is all just fucked.

So the Conservative Christians lumbered their daughter with the mortal sin of suicide?

The real kicker is that it's far from the worst outcome that could've had.

Am not sure the intricacies of their religious loopholes surrounding suicide, but is very likely they found a way to square that circle in their minds if they did believe fully beforehand. Humans with beliefs are very good at that sort of thing.

Yeah, glad the doggo was at least spared. How's that as inspiration for the sequel to A Dog's Purpose film?

Cowards killing themselves cuz they didn't get what they wanted over something petty. WTF, they trying to prove? That Trump, there's so-called Savior and God will reward them in heaven? Satan is laughing at them and he will pull them before they even get halfway to reaching the gate.

Oh, dude. You're not sorry. You're just upset you got some comeuppance, and if you hadn't, you'd still be out there being a shitbag.

Oh well, you can always got back to selling timeshare in the Bahamas, or whatever.

It's always "I'm so very sorry that I got caught and had to pay for my crimes, and I resolve to never let that happen again".

My dad's favourite saying: You're not sorry you did it, you're sorry you got caught. He wasn't a terribly forgiving man tbh (and that's fine, holding grudges gives you muscles (and hypertension)).

Not since the hit single from Shaggy has there been a less-believable claim of "it wasn't me".

Trying to keep that satanic panic flowing. Starting to think it's not quite brain matter causing that swollen head of his.
