The average person in Europe is much poorer than the average person in America, statistically speaking. It's why European tech salaries are so low.

Yes, if you want to lay around, not do much, and have an average life, Europe is great. If you strive for more, the US is a much better place to achieve that.
Europeans move to the US to start companies. Americans move to Europe to retire.
In that world, specifically Europe, people have gotten much richer but economic inequality isn’t through the roof like it is in the Anglophone countries.
That disproves the idea that it’s some sort of natural law that has led to the massive rise in inequality in Anglophone countries as opposed to deliberate policy choices.
It’s really fascinating seeing Americans, whether on the left or the right discuss issues in the US. At least 80% of the claims and arguments can be dismissed by simply looking at the rest of the world.
