    Also more facts, a bit shy of 1/10 Americans are millionaires.

    So the distribution of wealth for the lowest class is horrendous. Almost 1/10 actually want this system and are arselicking the billionaires because they too are -illionaires.

    They made their own prison.

      Also also, a typical US family of mom dad kid1 kid2?

      Yeah, turns out they need to be making $140k … to just get by.

      I’ve been saying similar things as this guy for about a decade now… I’m also an econometrician, just signifcantly less pedigreed…

      Ok so yeah anyway, only about 27.5% of households, or roughly 36 million of them, make that much.

      So… just a tad more than a quarter of basically people are even capable of financially, safely, supporting a family.

      Gee I wonder why birth rates are going down.
