Ok, so you're on average $13k ahead compared to a similarly situated Frenchman. I'd personally fight pretty hard for a $13k a year raise, especially if it came with vastly superior healthcare treatment outcomes and wait times

The overwhelming majority of middle and upper class Americans receive healthcare through their employer. Such people are not spending $20,000 a year every year on medical expenses; that assertation is absurd.

I get that america = bad on reddit, but we're talking numbers here. The millions of people per year who uproot their lives to start fresh in America aren't doing so out of ignorance.

McGill is the Harvard of Canada, it isn't as simple as just telling OP to go there instead

The median household income in PA is $63,627. In France, it's $40,094.

There are less safety nets for the bottom portion of society in the US, but your average American is significantly wealthier and better off than your average Frenchman or European.

thanks, was wondering why this was in size 28 font despite not being an m. link

cannot believe that people are unironically pushing this narrative

that companies have somehow gotten together and utterly beaten centuries of microeconomics, shifting the supply/ demand curve across the nation to raise the prices they charge for goods and services

No, inflation is currently being caused by the unprecedented and untenable amount of money the Federal Reserve is printing, or put more succinctly, the Money Supply

Absolutely reckless federal spending, and a skyrocketing deficit due to tax incomes not even approaching spending rates, are causing inflation, coupled with major supply chain issues

The dollars in your bank account are worth relatively less, because there are suddenly so many billions more of them in circulation

>So therefore we should build no new housing?

yeah that's totally what we said

or the city could consider the preservation of street trees in its permit approval processes when feasible

the trees OP is talking about have lived for longer than these stickbuilt shitboxes they're replaced with will ever last

Upon the switch, rioters demanded "Give us our eleven days!"

so awesome

TIL we only switched from the Julian to Gregorian calendar in 1752, thats so wild

Oh I guess it's fine then
