As I recently said to a friend: “I fucking hate being right.”

And he said “I fucking hate you being right.”

(he was never in disagreement, he just still had a sliver of hope)

    As someone that’s been lucky enough to live outside the US most of my life, any country in the EU would require decades of economic depression to reach the disgrace that is the US cost of living vs income.

        Really, your link includes healthcare costs, so unemployment benefits, welfare, and food costs?

        I haven’t clicked on it but if it’s a GDP comparison alone or an inflation comparison that does not include that, edit: I don’t know how to address what you just linked, given it has nothing to do with the conversation.

            All countries where you dont ever have to worry about working while sick, and can go to the hospital freely.

            You’re really not understanding how shit the US is.

              You’re the one who talked about the cost of living, not me!

                Which is what I’m continuing to talk about.
