In English, it's usually used in a context where there's some humor, frustration, or irony involved, like in the comic.
Anybody want a peanut?
Well yes, but so is Canada, which has a higher HDI than the US.
Parent was asking why Mexico is excluded from the list while Canada is not.
By "don't have incentive" I'm just referring to an on-paper incentive from an HDI ranking.
Canada has roughly the same HDI ranking as the US, whereas Mexico is somewhat lower. So from the "looking for a better life" perspective, Canadians don't have an incentive to move to the US (other way around actually, from HDI).
Just a guess though.
Janeway's toilet would just be full of coffee that's had the caffeine extracted. So...decaf. Blech!
Not to mention mortgage interest.
If I wanted to give it a bold facelift I'd just use the top one and remove the letters. Gives it an arrogant, "if you have to ask what this is..." vibe, which is probably a good thing for them.

It was originally posted in 2019. Joke of course being that things associated with the 1920s would be relevant again in the 2020s.
Comic then shared as a meme with the 3rd panel being replaced with other panels. https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/things-were-bringing-back-in-the-2020s
IIRC that was the release that cleaned up the make output substantially.
Not on Netflix in my region :(
People often complain about San Francisco's public transit
and to be sure, it's not perfect by any means (multiple separate agencies doesn't help). But the historic streetcars are pretty neat!
They're painted with the livery of various historic streetcars from all over the country (and a few international, I think). Best of all, they run alongside the modern fleet
same route, same fare.
I think there's a bias in the US against this sort of thing that doesn't exist (or not to the same extent) in Europe due to the age of the cities/buildings.
In the US, a building from the 1700s is a historic artifact to be cherished, while in parts of Europe a building from the 1500s is just the local pub.
So, the US is often hesitant to modify these old buildings, but Europe seems to have more of a perspective of "it's a building, not a museum, let's give it new life by modifying it."
This is just from the perspective of me, from the US
and I think these old/new buildings are really neat!
