"El Salvador went from being one of the most dangerous countries in the world to being one of the safest."

I was going to paste that but then did some research. El Salvador is still claimed to be one of the most crime ridden countries in Central America.

I didn’t make it up. I did read it on the Interwebs. You know what they say about that.

Likely the weight of old data. It is now the second safest in the Americas after Canada. No mystery here. Frequent flyers are imprisoned - forever. El Salvador’s version of three strikes, without the guilt of Jim Crow.

[Under President Nayib Bukele, El Salvador has experienced one of the most spectacular declines in violent crime in recent memory, anywhere in the world. Despite ranking among the most dangerous countries on the planet a mere decade ago, the Central American state today boasts a homicide rate of only 2.4 per 100,000 people—the lowest of any country in the Western Hemisphere other than Canada.]

It may not be perfect, but the president of El Salvador presents well, and he tells the media to stuff it. My prayers are for his success, and that he does not get drunk on power.
