| USA - Ein Hölle für Kinder |  |
Ich komme aus dem Staunen nicht raus, man lernt immer wieder dazu, hier meine Lowlights...
Children in the US can be legally married in 41 states, physically punished by school administrators in 47 states, sentenced to life without parole in 22 states, and work in hazardous agriculture conditions in all 50 states.

Ah, da kommt wohl auch das Wirtschaftswachstum und die hohe Beschäftigungsquote her.
