     @tessarakt Ja. Aber sie schnell der Durchschnitt abrutscht, wenn man eine Handvoll Multimillionäre rausnimmt, wäre auch interessant anzusehen

     @GreenSkyOverMe as for inequality, Gini index in the US is, depending on the source between 40% and 46%. 5 to 6 points above the most unequal countries of Europe according to this metric (Bulgaria and Lithuania). So, worst.

     @GreenSkyOverMe as for the source, data is available on https://www.census.gov/topics/income-poverty/income/data/tables.html. If we remove 10% of households (roughly 13 million), average income is still 280k in 2023 (median at 103k)… so the image is probably not well sourced.

     @GreenSkyOverMe Why not just look at the median income?

     And the next question is, how much can you benefit from public services on top of your income ?

     In France, for example, we enjoy mostly free healthcare, affordable transportation, free roads, schools, a reliable postal service, etc.

     It's important to consider these benefits, even though they are sometimes under threat, as they are part of what your income is spent on…
