It would be interesting to have the same for all west countries. I'm quite sure it's the same for all, in a smaller scale than US.

Furthermore numbers are from 2016, so it's way worse now.

As Peter Turchin say in "end times", Elite either accept to reequilibrate society or brace for impact (US and other west countries do not take the right direction for now)
