IMO, The US has crumbling infrastructure, corrupt government, dangerous cities, and a lot of homelessness, among so many other problems. Hell, millions of people in the US don’t even have power right now.

What’s the difference?

      You’re right, they’ve ordered it that way, but they’ve specified that their scale is…

      [scored] on a scale of 0 (highly corrupt) to 100 (very clean)

      So you weren’t wrong about what you read.

      But without that context there, being “in the top ten of a corruption ranking” would usually mean the country is very corrupt, haha

          Yes, the scale they used was just a bit counter-intuitive.

          It wasn’t a rank from most to least corrupt, it was more of a “corruption score”, where higher numbers means more corrupt. But they ordered it like ranks, so #1 (least corrupt) would be first.
