Simple fact:

When someone is shot here in Australia it makes local and national news.

Cop v robber
Robber v cop
Robber v homeowner/business owner
Etc.etc.

In America it's so prevalent that most gun crime isnt even reported in the news as it's just chalked up an every day event. This is what happens when you normalize brutal violence as acceptable behaviour or "just a byproduct" of excessive gun ownship.

I think from memory gun deaths are 26 times higher in the USA per 100k than Australia.

Most gun deaths in Australia are suicide too, like 60% of the 200ish gun deaths per year are plain old suicide. I think it's almost 200 people a day die to guns in the USA.

Symptons of a nation on a path to self destructing from the inside out.

Look fucko,
Those gun deaths don't record how or why they happened. Self defense and suicide are the two main causes of gun deaths but they get jumbled in with crime statistics so that retards like you can feel good about handing all your rights over to your piss poor government who couldn't even field a proper military defense if Xi Jinping rammed his cock down your prime minister's throat on live television.

Aussie military always seemed pretty squared away to me, haven't been around them in a few years though.

China's one of our main trade partners. How do you think we got so rich?

Who do you think provides them with a large chunk of their primary resources?

Wool, ore(iron), coal, milk, fruit, nature gases etc....etc.

While America was busy building bombs to blow up Afghanistan other nations were busy fueling their resource growth and national development. That's why tech and banking are the biggest resources in America and neither of those are known to pay their taxes (look at Apple, they barely pay tax) and infact the banking sector fucked the American economy hard.

We're the Saudia Arabia of the Oceanic region, that's why we're not 21 trillion dollars in debt and will be in financial surplus within 2 years something that will never happen in America for the next 20 years.

Sorry this concept is lost on you, enjoy your 9 dollar an hour minimum wage country.

US does have a high net import number. Keep farming your resources and sending them on over. You work for us. We will develop new technologies and lead the global financial system while Australia farms us wool.

USA GDP vrs their debt: 106.71% and rising fast @ 1 trillion per year extra debt (cant pay it back) money borrowed ro pay public servants and fund wars on Afghanistan.

AUSTRALIA GDP vrs their debt: 34.258% and will be lowered ~2 years from now as country hits surplus. Money borrowed to build hospitals, road and civil works (stuff to grow the economy y'know)

P.s both economies are relatively the same in terms of population vrs production. Only one works and the other is faultering and will end up like Greece if it keeps going the way it is.

Sorry you're poor.
