See that euro symbol in front of your currency those of us with dollars do not have good public transportation, we have to pay extreme amounts for health care and health insurance, we dont have public college for free or low cost, our housing is predatory, car centric infrastructure design necessitates car ownership with another high cost insurance, the car market has become predatory and ridiculously priced to the point its even inflated the used car market to match the prices of what new cars should be. There are numerous reasons the US salaries look better on paper than they do in reality. Should $160k a year be a great salary that leaves you with surplus, it really should and i wish that were the case. Even if you were to be able to secure a salary like that in a low cost of living area in the US it would go a decent distance but the problem being the places where that is the case usually have bad health care, shitty public schooling, lack of access to quality food, etc. which means most of those areas arent ideal for those with families unless they want to pay exorbitant amounts for private school, transportation costs to get to a location with quality health care access in the event they need it etc. Its not as straightforward as you think. We need major help across the pond here, and most people have become so brainwashed and dumbed down from our shitty education systems that they are willingly voting against their own interests because they believe the propaganda that one day they might be a billionaire.
Thats a pound sign, not a euro sign.
We have healthcare, but we pay for it in taxes. Our housing costs are just as fucked as yours.
Stop making excuses for being shit with money.
Listen if you want to just ignore the realities that make income differ geographically and rely just on your expectations then so be it play fucking dumb. the us is notoriously fucked with its high cost of living. Your taxes pay for a functioning healthcare, you can talk when you medications costs thousands a year, a trip to the er puts you in multiple thousands of dollars in debt, when you arent getting subsidized education, when you have non existent public transportation in low cost of living areas. I guess with your demonstrated lack of critical thinking its no wonder the UK is turning into a fucked fascist place like the US.
Yes, my disregard for your piss poor excuses makes me a fascist. The utter fucking state of you, mate.
