The reality is that the chart is meaningless without knowing the quality of the jobs. US has pretty low unemployment too right now, but around 37% of adults have two full time jobs now.
It’s incredible that you don’t understand that wealth in UK is not evenly distributed. I have been to poor countries, and I’ve also seen what poverty in places like US and UK looks like with people living in tents and eating out of trash. You are a smug because you won the birth lottery and never had to deal with real hardship, but all that cold change very quickly under the capitalist system you champion. One day it could be you sleeping under a bridge and scavenging for rotten food in the garbage, not gonna be so smug then.
I didn’t say wealth was evenly distributed. But poor countries don’t have the welfare state that G7 countries do.
I’m not smug, you’re deluded enough to think you know what living under a communist system is like while living in a liberal democracy and ignoring all the economic data that disagrees with you.
Quite frankly, I’ve seen enough of your badgering of people with shite sources to realise you’re just an idiot tankie or troll.
There are tent cities all over G7 countries right now. People literally go bankrupt in US when they get sick. Children in UK can’t get full nutrition. Meanwhile, I grew up in USSR, so I think I know what it’s like to live under a communist system a lot better than some ignoramus from UK.

Median wage is pretty good though

lol median wage is pretty terrible https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_European_countries_by_average_wage#European_countries_by_monthly_median_wage
Which is precisely why the standard of living is the way the article in the submission describes.
Yeah life is terrible in one of the richest countries in the world lol.
Have you actually been to a poor country?

Here’s some data that you’ll ignore
That data was really interesting and does seem to show that wealth is being progressively transferred upwards after WW2.
I read somewhere recently that since 1945 $50 trillion had been earned by top 1% while wages have remained relatively flat for working people.

Source? I call bullshit.
What world are you living in that you don’t know this and can I be invited? Haha
The only exception is, maybe, Japan because I can imagine them being heavy-handed but I’ve never visited so I don’t know their homeless situation.
Does google not exist in the cave that you troll from? https://caufsociety.com/list-of-tent-cities-in-america/
Well said.
