@myerman@turtleisland.social @josh@masto.byrd.ws They always focus on the average and never compare it to the median as it would highlight the extent of inequalities. The USA is 3rd best worldwide by average wealth per person but 15th by median wealth per person, for example, with a Gini coefficient similar to that of Congo or Papua New Guinea. This is why they can't shut up about GDP or about the number or millionaires but it's all crickets on every other economic or development metric.
