We are objectively (one of) the most prosperous countries in the world
Even adjusted for cost of living, the median American makes more than 98% of humans on Earth. 2nd highest disposable income too. American’s problem is with spending and lifestyle
prosperity involves all encompassing well-being and good health we don’t have none of that on a wide scale

It’s just that a lot of people here haven’t traveled much // are very privileged, so they don’t like to be called out

you know that nearly 40 million people in 4-person families make less than $30K a year in this country? and that was 2024… the poverty rate increased. your round trip to Dubai probably cost a month of their salary. Talking about privilege
