context is important. the US is the 11th wealthiest country in the world per capita.
so yes, wealthier than a third world country, but still not the wealthiest.
I blame schools.
They don’t do enough to teach about the importance of the 2nd amendment.
When the founding fathers said “the tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants,” they meant children’s blood.
*at greater rates than many not high-income countries
The USA has the richest people in the world. I wouldn’t call it the richest country.
the richest live in affluent neighborhoods with everything provided for them, anything lower is on thier own.
Mean or average? From everything we hear across the pond, it seems the mean is lower than, say, all of the Nordics, BENELUX, Switzerland, … And the average is held up by the 1k billionaires.
I was referring to the top 1%. The wealth inequality is ridiculous, and only getting worse.
You probably meant median instead of mean, but the point definitely stands
Yeah, median’s the word. Thanks for the correction
