Also: an unironic 1%-er income in France is like literally the bottom of the barrel Bay Area salary. If you're at or above the median America is great, outside of some very high cost of living cities.

Really teachers and baristas and builders get paid more than 99% of people in France

Or are you just talking specific tech jobs.

Yeah, I've always found the "meme" of the 1% kind of amusing.

The 95th percentile US taxpayer earns as much as the 99th percentile Brit. Huge, huge difference.

Adding some numbers to this thread. 99th percentile yearly income is:

- USA: $819k (2021)

- UK: £187k = $247k (2024)

- FR: €111k = $123k (2023)
