Congratulations Hunter, you can read numbers.
Now you just have to learn how to interpret them.
That income means fuck all when you live paycheck to paycheck without healthcare. Which is like 50% of the country. A Norwegian at least will always be objectively richer.
why the only French state in North America is among the poorest!
To every European feeling insecure right now: Go visit a US city. Go and see all your insecurities go away. That country is so fucked
The tweet is saying wealth and income, they have no basic financial literacy
Thats probably why they have so many fentanyl homeless camps in Commiefornia
Ameritards after their 200k salary ends in 100k of debt after their son was diagnosed with cancer
Cool, i don’t pay income tax until I’m 26
Sure. When I went to Florida, I literally saw people washing their clothes in the rain puddles by the side of the road after a storm. I’ll take Finland’s way of doing things, thanks.
This cant be true right? did they really just use wiki data for both and and only used PPP adjusted numbers for Europe, while just using unadjusted numbers for North America.
Edit:
Haha the Europe numbers are apart from being adjusted, while the US is not, they are also after tax. Truly a shit map
You kind of need a much lower income-tax when you have to be a millionaire to afford a colonoscopy from a professional and not from Janice, the healer on the street corner with candles that smell like vagina.
Median household income doesn’t take into account things like healthcare or education, nor does for stuff like security, infrastructures or _commie_ stuff like labour rights.
For fuck sake in some States the employment of minors is basically being legalised and normalised while people work an average of 2 jobs just to get by and are a cold away from bankruptcy.
Always fun hearing the stories from people in my industry that go to Boston for 50% more and come back running to Germany because life cost double than in Germany. Plus points if they are fired on the spot for accidently running into bigger problems than calculated by the company.
Why does Norway always have to be so disappointing?
Half of that map is literally Canada.
Doesn’t take into account how much of that income is going away to things that taxes would normally pay for.
Also, wealth shouldn’t be measured by someone’s ability to buy crap off Amazon.
I live in Boston. The cost of living here is absolutely through the roof. Add to that you need to pay out of pocket for things that would be paid through taxes in Europe it evens out in the end for most middle-class people. The working class is doing way better in Europe. Wealthy individuals are way better off in the US.
More money to buy fentanyl !! God I love fentanyl so much 😋😋😋😋
Europe is becoming shit even if I dislike USA.
Hiding the truth leads nowhere
They have to be paid more to cover costs not covered by taxes/state. Americans are taxed less, because they don’t get much of a welfare state. Therefore, wages have to be higher to compensate.
You earn twice as much but pay a trillion dollars when you visit the doctor. Congratulations Johnny. You played yourself.
The US state of Canada
If you pay an hamburger 20 dollars then there’s no gain
Hunter created a twitter just to post “feel good” american propaganda apparently. If we talk about how much wealth we have when we reach retirement (meaning after all expenses in a lifetime are accounted for), we have them beat. It’s even worse after since at that age healthcare becomes even more important. So yeah good job america for winning more, but in reality we need less efforts to live comfortably in europe so it’s not the flex they think it is.
There is far more wealth inequality in America than in Europe. The average European has a much better quality of life than the average American. The income of the bottom 50% of American earners has not increased in the past 24 years. Because of inflation, the spending power of most Americans has actually decreased. ALL of America’s economic growth goes towards increasing the income of the top 10% of American earners. Wealth inequality in America is increasing.
I would always rather be a European than an American. 🇬🇧🏴🇪🇺
Coffee sucks though.
Instructions unclear, I moved to Iqaluit.
Québec can into Europe 😎
I think it’d be better to compare standard of living of the lower class in us and eu. Americans have lower taxes but their lower class has it way worse.
Yeah and they have 2-3 jobs and no pension..
Some extremely rich people raise the average
Meanwhile the minimum wage is still 15$/hour
We all read horror stories about medical bankruptcy, and most americans must loan just to live. They even have a « credit score » system to rank people in castes
I own horses, they’re pretty expensive to own and maintain (about 300€/month/animal in France) but in the u.s. you can x5-x10 this amount! I just read yesterday here that an american woman complained she was *priced out* of this hobby and had to sell her dream horse, because of a crazy inflation
Obviously not all (almost none to be fair) americans benefit from this wages increase
As an Americoid, massachussets is a nice place, but this has more to do with currency shenanigans than the actual standards of living in either of these places.
Earning 3x as much means basically nothing if everything is at least 5x as expensive.
but hey, big number good i guess
I lived in this shithole county for half a year… It is nice to live there if you are a millionaire
Aww, look, a savage trying to understand numbers.
The median is much higher but the average is about the same, which tells us there are some extremely low values in the dataset which significantly impact the average but have less impact on the median.
Aka: Germany has a lower median income, but Massachusetts has some serious poverty despite its higher median, where Germany has less poverty. This leads to more or less similar averages in income.
Americans with a 45h/w job and a 2000$ rent will look at this map and think to themselves « great ! I’m rich ! »
it crazy to me to see “fantastically wealthy blue states” like NYC and California are state where not only you need to gain a shit tone of money, but also everything is x10 more expensive,… last time i check been wealthy mean u can buy more stuff and not that you need more money in order to live there,…
Exorbitant privilege produces exorbitant privilege, among other things…
It’s all fun and shit, until you get a cold and go bankrupt
Brilliant, now break a leg, an arm, need an ICU or, completely crazy, try to study.
Would still rather live in Europe
I don’t know anyone who’s gone bankrupt because of medical debt.

US median household income = $76,000
In Massachusetts it’s $89,645
We, have free.healthcare. take that!
