minus-squareThe Pantserlinkfedilink12•4 months agoWhy include CA but not Mexico? Canada should have been excluded since they are a boarder country too.
minus-square@qjkxbmwvz@startrek.websitelinkfedilink10•4 months 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-square@qjkxbmwvz@startrek.websitelinkfedilink10•edit-24 months 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.
minus-square@candybrie@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink5•4 months 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.

Wrong guess. There is Germany on the list
