minus-squareThe Pantser@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up13arrow-down2·1 day agoWhy include CA but not Mexico? Canada should have been excluded since they are a boarder country too.
minus-squarecandybrie@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·16 hours agoI’m going to guess that if you include Mexico, pretty much every state has the same flag. Whereas you don’t have the problem by including Canada.
minus-squareqjkxbmwvz@startrek.websitelinkfedilinkarrow-up8·23 hours agoCanada has roughly the same HDI ranking as the US, whereas Mexico is somewhat lower. So from the “looking for a better life” perspective, Canadians don’t have an incentive to move to the US (other way around actually, from HDI). Just a guess though.
minus-squarepound_heap@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up3arrow-down3·20 hours agoWrong guess. There is Germany on the list
minus-squareqjkxbmwvz@startrek.websitelinkfedilinkarrow-up8·edit-220 hours agoWell yes, but so is Canada, which has a higher HDI than the US. Parent was asking why Mexico is excluded from the list while Canada is not. By “don’t have incentive” I’m just referring to an on-paper incentive from an HDI ranking.
