Gee, I wonder why Americans in the 90s were so optimistic?

https://pricetheory.uchicago.edu/levitt/Papers/LevittUnderstandingWhyCrime2004.pdf - "Crime fell sharply in the United States in the 1990s, in all categories of
crime and all parts of the nation. Homicide rates plunged 43 percent from
the peak in 1991 to 2001, reaching the lowest levels in 35 years. The
Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) violent and property crime indexes fell 34

This just in: Anon thinks the Global Hunger Index only applies to America! Anon's geography teachers saddened and ashamed!

Uh, did you read that article about the global decline in famine?

Also, all of this is specifically about how optimistic Americans were. Which is obviously not reflective of the global population. It’s not even reflective of the American population because one had to be white, straight, and at least middle class to meet the baseline.
