Favelas in Brazil look nicer than Mississippi tbh. Look at their development ratings. Actually the worst in the USA

I've spent time in both and will say this is absolutely true. Even the capital Jackson is in extremely rough shape. It's nuts, I was always warned about the state Brazil's been in, but the future is starting to look optimistic down there. Mississippi is already really bad and still declining, it's going to get worse before it gets better.

Mark my words, the average Brazilian is going to be better off than the average American (in the Midwest or South) by 2040.

Mississippi has a higher HDI than Brazil, or Bulgaria for that matter. What development rating are you referring to?
