minus-squareKairos@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·16 hours agoThat’s not correct. The average wealth in this country is ~250k a person
minus-squareObjectivityIncarnate@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·12 hours agoThe average wealth could be $1,990,000 and they’d still be incorrect, lol (assuming the minimum value for “multimilion”, $2 million).
minus-squareLifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·15 hours agoYeah their number sounded really high, but fuck it hurt to see 250k as well. Do I count as 0 or a negative number if I have more debt than my possessions are worth?
minus-squareKairos@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·15 hours agoI think 0? I’m not sure. I think the number came from total wealth as an object, not total net worth.
minus-squareHawk@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down1·13 hours agoCould still be correct, average is heavily skewed by the millionaires/billionaires.
minus-squareKairos@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·13 hours agoNo. No way. A million a person would mean $325 ish TRILLION for just the US. I think that’s around half the global wealth?
minus-squareHawk@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·4 hours agoThe median income is supposedly around 64k, which already paints a different picture.
