Scary Statistics: 65 Times Learning The Truth About The World Horrified People

46% of Indian Members of Parliament currently have a criminal case ongoing. The share of criminals is pretty equally distributed across all the parties. But then eh, criminal case can mean anything, right?

Well, 33% of Indian MPs have a *serious* criminal case ongoing against them - m****r, attempted m****r, kidnapping, or r**e.

95% of these cases are from *before* their election - they literally ran with a *serious* criminal case ongoing, and won.

The cherry on top? Based on data from the last decade, politicians with a *serious* ongoing criminal case have an 18% win rate. While a politician with 0 criminal cases against them have a 5% win rate. So the Indian voter is almost 4 times more likely to vote in a person with a criminal charge, than one without.

About 1/3 people in the world don’t have access to clean drinking water.

Edit: The statistic is for the amount of people that DON’T have clean drinking water. What qualifies as clean drinking water is open to interpretation, so statistics for it will obviously vary.

Less salinity in the ocean also changes the way that the water circulates, which has an overall negative impact.

How poor most Americans are.  Things like:

~20% of adult Americans report having no emergency savings at all

About 70% say they have less than $1000 in savings

That's a shocking number that you barely see reported or talked about.

It may sound obvious but when I first read that it scared me more than it should have:

The scary part:
You don’t feel it happening clearly. To you, everything still feels normal.

One day you could forget your kids…
and not even realize you’ve forgotten them.
