we tried natl id cards - the Dems shot it down. We can’t even get them to agree to a rule of showing DLs at polling places.

French population is 55MM and their incarceration rate is 100 per 100,000 or 0.1%. America’s population is 325MM or 6x that of France. Since France’s population is 6x smaller than the US, the comparative rate of French incarceration would be 6 x 0.1% or 0.6%, while the US rate is 680 per 100,000, or 0.68%

France’s incarceration rate is in line with America’s. But if the author had bothered to do a little math, he would know that. Now he just looks stupid.

The French have yet to understand how small they are compared to the USA. They’re barely the equivalent of 2 Colorados, or one Texas shrunk in the wash. We certainly don’t need lectures from them on how to run a country 17x the land mass.

NO! Rates are independent of population.
