>I didn't make any claims other than saying that in my circles I see some of my friends and colleagues have trouble making it by on $70k. I'm not sure how you would be able to tell me that I'm wrong about that.

Okay, then let's make this rigorous.

Falsifiable Claim: People live a life of struggle on 70k a year in new york, where struggle is defined by constant worries of physiological needs, safety, and security, as categorized in Manslow's hierarchy of needs. https://www.simplypsychology.org/maslow.html

Falsified by counterexample.

QED.

For a lot of people, they may mean 'struggle' in the sense of living below where they want to be, which is relative. Maslow's hierarchy is helpful to categorize.

This might be the most "hackernews" comments I've seen in awhile.

Can we maybe just have a normal conversation without trying to flex our superior debating skills?

I was curious how many people that make the median wage in NYC are living comfortably solo -- that's it!

You're making up claims, disconnected from my comments, and then falsifying them yourself in some sort of weird self-debating comment.
