You should check out the stats broken down by ethnicity and household wealth. That gives you a clearer picture of what a typical person on HN actually experiences.

Why check a specific group? I thought everyone is so rich, and your point was that the US is better, now you’re sating that you need to be a specific color and background or else you’re screwed? That there are so many poor that they drag the stats way down?

The average HN Italian probably eats better than you, lives better than you, vacations better than you with a quarter of your net worth.

The idea of having healthcare, a social safety net, etc. is that everyone is off well. Not the top-5% of the population that you are filtering for.

It seems that you only care about how well you and your bubble are off and not others. As the young kids say it - sad.

I live in California. We already have those things. What are you even talking about?
