Hard Numbers

180,000: Although ISIS has been removed from most of its strongholds in Syria and Iraq, the group — which at the height of its power ruled over vast reaches of oil-rich territory — still rakes in $180,000 daily from selling crude, according to industry sources.

100: At Pyongyang’s better-known bespoke tailors a decent men’s suit startsat around $100. That’s a small fortune in North Korea, but it reflects the rise of a class of well-heeled elites in the capital city. Keeping these people both happy and in check is an important consideration for Mr. Kim, who has pledged to raise living standards.

77: A new study reveals that 77 percent of Americans consider members of opposing political parties to be less evolved humans than themselves. Yes, read that again: less evolved humans. A new low in the deepening morass of America’s toxic and tribal politics.

37: In 1981, Salvadoran troops armed and trained by the US massacred hundreds of civilians including women and children in a remote town in El Salvador. Now, 37 years later, after an earlier amnesty was reversed, a local judge has ordered a trial of the generals accused of overseeing the slaughter, which was the worst in Latin America’s modern history.

22: In 2017, Colombians’ confidence in their national government fell to a record low of 22 percent. After a first round of presidential elections that saw the first-ever selection of a left wing candidate, Colombia heads for a potentially divisive runoff next month that could determine the fate of the landmark peace accord with FARC guerrillas.
