#2 El Salvador is one of those places that should just be nuked. The well-being of the entire rest of the planet would improve immediately.

#5 I am 63 years old and have no tattoos. Not on my back. Not on my ass. Not on my arms or legs. Not on my face.

My impression is babies in El Salvador are born with tattoos.

#7 El Salvador has welcomed crypto currency with open arms. Something tells me they might need to expand that prison sometime down the road.
