IMO, The US has crumbling infrastructure, corrupt government, dangerous cities, and a lot of homelessness, among so many other problems. Hell, millions of people in the US don’t even have power right now.

What’s the difference?

    Yes, the scale they used was just a bit counter-intuitive.

    It wasn’t a rank from most to least corrupt, it was more of a “corruption score”, where higher numbers means more corrupt. But they ordered it like ranks, so #1 (least corrupt) would be first.

      Oh, I read this…

      The CPI ranks 180 countries and territories around the globe by their perceived levels of public sector corruption, scoring on a scale of 0 (highly corrupt) to 100 (very clean).

      And it completely threw me off, it makes sense that the most corrupt country is an african country…

      Somalia Rank 180

      I was like… no way Somalia is cleaner than Denmark… lol
