I dont mean any disrespect, I apprecaite your input, but I thought someone making 6 figures was going to start saying how its not a big deal. Yeah bro, Im not in SF Im in europe, a million would stop someone slaving until death to pay for a house for their children. The average salary here is like 25k

For most people, yes even in 1st world countries, outside of FAANG its not about deciding whether or not one would have to continue wageslaving to mantain an SF lifestyle, property and trips to Cancun,

It is in the U.S. too, we just struggle to acknowledge it because then we would also have to start asking hard questions about how Europeans have that average salary but also universal health care, public transportation, and a social safety net.

I agree the US needs much better social services, but median US income is $40k (and median US household income is $70.5k).
