dude, there's a .001 difference in HDI between Australia and the US, I'm sure that is well within the margin of error, they are effectively the same.

Inequality doesn't matter if the average incomes are objectively high, and people have a good standard of living. That's why the IHDI is stupid for OECD nations. It doest matter if 100 people are trillionaires if you have high standards of living and good social mobility (USA is 7th)

Two countries, one has a trillionaire and nineteen with $40,000. The other has twenty with $40,000. The first one would have the higher IDHI, there is no penalty for having more rich people.

It has long been the judicial system of the United States was one of the most stringent in the world. Capital punishment in the United States is allowed by the Constitution. Moreover, executed not only adults but also children
adolescents 13 years or 14 years (depending on state law), were sentenced to death.
Moreover, American teenagers were sentenced to death until recently.

Yeah we know some people have exorbitant amounts of money. We just don't care since our living standards are high relative to the rest of the world

they were sentenced to death for something they did when they were 13 or 14, but they weren't put to death until years later when they were past 18.

Well I just checked them; we're third worst. I don't know exactly what they mean by "Influence of parental background (socio-economic gradient taking cross-country distributional differences into account)" but if you go by that we're even worse than Britain

George Junius Stinney Jr., (October 21, 1929 - June 16, 1944) - The youngest offender was executed in the United States. African American. At the time of death he was 14 years old. Convicted of the murder of two girls. Steen wines of the crime is still in doubt.
