As an aside, averages don't work that way. The average (mean) can vary greatly from the median, which is the central value, due to outliers. For example, "Median individual income in the United States was $44,225. Average individual income in 2021 in the United States was $63,214.03."

[1] Not sure that I buy the actual numbers; the median has been around $30K for a number of years, up to 2019 at least. A $10K jump in 2 years?

Haha yeah that’s a fair point and I understand what you mean - you’re right. It’s just supposed to be a joke but maybe that’s not clear
Not Bill Burr, rather George Carlin. But that theme is present in both comedians' work, to be sure.

Ah gotcha yeah i wasn’t sure if it was Carlin or Burr!
Suppose this is why we have “specializations” - most people don’t seek out medical advice from an electrician (or vice versa) but that doesn’t mean the respective individual lacks “knowledge”.
