I read it somewhere...
Can't remember exactly
which paper it was in,
pretty sure it was The Miami Herald.
Anyway, some guy used that exact stat
to argue about how backward people are.
If the author was full of it, then I guess I am too.....
Just keep in mind that America isn't just Washington, D.C.
The U.S. is packed with tiny towns, island communities,
rural backwoods, little hamlets,
dead-end roads, and total nothing-burgers
and those dirty little towns...
those places drag down the average on everything, from
soap consumption... to the overall averages for
education, books read, theater trips,
and all that stuff.
Honestly, how much time and breath did you waste trying to explain
how soap consumption could possibly serve as a metric for society?
