What country do you live in? I assume its not the US because we also have abysmal wages and exceedingly high housing prices.

The average salary in the UK is around 31,000 per year. The average salary in the US is also around $31,000 per year. Except 31,000 is roughly equivalent to $42,000.

So the average American is poorer than the average Brit. Oops.

How could you possibly expect a predominantly Caucasian country with lower immigration and a far smaller, urban population to have lower income

America as an identity is also flawed. A better comparison would be a country, or state of similar size. Like California, which has an average salary of 63k

By living in Australian, you are technically an Australian. It doesn't mean you have Australian nationality.

This is just basic English

Non-Americans always have the edge in that they know about our fuck-ups, but their own countries are so irrelevant that we don't know theirs.

Is it? Universal healthcare, average full time salary $90,000, no shootings, barely any COVID (about 32,000 cases TOTAL since the start of the pandemic), no "alt right" getting their racism all over everything...

The US is probably the bottom Western country I'd want to live in.

Just to demonstrate approx 150,000 US born ex-pats currently live in the UK.

850,000 approx UK born chums live in the US. (Remember, Ireland isn't in the UK)

This is despite the fact the US has a 350 million population and the uk had 65 million.

The numbers don't lie. There's a reason why everyone wants to immigrate to the US
