Sure. But a lot of those 40% are low-income for non-economic reasons: noncitizens. retirement, disability, illness, and school enrollment. I’m not going to pull CPS cross tabs right but the amount of people who would be doing better with better macroeconomic circumstances is a small minority

Real wages are up.

The 100K households own their home and thus rents don’t matter for them. They pay fixed rate mortgages. ~

This is a percentile which is impervious to outliers.

lol so 40% of households make >100K but that’s not “pretty small”. And as previously explained, a substantial portion of low income households are low income, not because of structural failings of the U.S. economy but because of physical conditions that would leave them low income regardless of what country or set of macroeconomic conditions they lived in.

And especially for a cohort everyone imagines: the college graduate with a decade out of college, they modally live riskless lives in the suburbs with stable employment as far as the eye can see. Like the general meme of “oh actually U.S. income is shared among very few people” gets to the level of lunacy when it’s “oh, meet bob, a sales manager for the Manitowoc Company, who lives in West Allis with his wife, a nurse practitioner for Aurora Health - both in their 40s clearing 130K a year and whom they met when they were students at UW-Milwaukee”

Having 100k of household income doesn't mean much when cost of living is high.

Households with over 100k are mostly located in higher cost of living states, and their purchasing power on those states is substantially lower, so their quality of life is not that much higher.

negotiations over trade still ongoing, whilst the Dutch have signed ASML’s death warrant, the Europeans may yet save their own auto industries…question is, are they willing to die for white supremacy?

Why, just look over at the wannabe Americans in the fellow five eyes nation of Canada

weirdest thing to me is how the senior Trudeau was apparently a decent statesman to be respected by China, only to have the younger Trudeau to be such a bottom bitch of white Anglo supremacy. It’s like the gen x and millennial generation of politicians like pottinger and the “wolverines” decided white supremacy was to be their guiding ideology.

volkswagen factory being shut down in Germany, 30% of workers to be laid off. Atlanticist elites hope that the unemployed will enlist and go and fight in Ukraine.

volkswagen needs to move their factories to China so that they can work profitably with their Chinese partners.

Correct: the U.S. has the lowest life expectancy because it is large and wealthy - obesity, motor vehicle injuries, etc are mortality factors driven by mass affluence

Now you are just trolling. Obesity in the US is driven by poor dietary habits as most americans can only afford heavily processed, low quality, cheap "food".

The wealthiest country on the planet doesn't have an obesity epidemic, while the fattest country is neither large nor affluent. In science, there exists a very useful tool called null hypothesis; if employed correctly, it saves you from producing nonsense that can be easily negated.

The fattest populations in USA are black, Latino, (indigenous) Indians, and Islanders. You don't really mean to tell us that these races are more affluent than white?

There is a plethora of evidence that obesity is associated positively with low-income groups. If you happen to live in Western countries, it should be a no-brainer (unless you've never been to a grocery store) that calorie-rich junk food is cheap while healthy foods are more cost-prohibitive. Cheap junk food is also a big part of American fast-food culture, but not healthy menus which are generally reserved for higher-end restaurants beyond the affordability of the general population.
