> Mexico’s nationwide homicide rate is about 28 per 100,000 inhabitants. By comparison, the U.S. homicide rate is barely one-quarter as high, at around 7 per 100,000.
US life expectancy: 77.28
Mexico life expectancy: 70.13
The only data i could find where mexico seems safer is deaths caused in car crashes, I literally cherrypicked this knowing that the US is filled with huge trucks (890 motor vehicles per 100’000 people). Whereas mexicans don’t own many cars at all (391)
Car crash deaths per 100’000 people (2020)
US: 11.7
Mexico: 10.5
But STILL there’s not much difference. I already knew Mexico was bad, but being this much worse than the US is just surprising.
This is the same guy who posted a photo of an “elf” on twitter and was like ‘hey look at this mythical creature, it’s totally real” so maybe he’s just going crazy

It’s true, there’s no safer place for cartels than Mexico.

When a cartel can exact justice faster than the police, your country isn’t safe.

All evidence to the contrary.

Depends on how you measure crime…. Murder maybe yes… rape, drug use – no. It’s not all as obvious as you might think – esp per MM people.

Doesn’t sound safer.

Says the President of a country that lets cartels run the streets and has the cartels write apology letters for killing tourists.
Sure sure.

Cheaper is a better word…for the cartels.
