| > Every country reports unemployment similarly. The system we use has classes, so yes you can look at both U3 and U6 and the still the US comes out on top, if compared to the same class. First of all, U3 and U6 are both not real unemployment. They exclude a large portion of the population from the statistic, like I already said, but you seem to have no idea what I'm talking about. Real unemployment which is usually taken as the number of people above 16 who do not work is about 40% in the US. Yes, there are reasons why people in this large group should be separated for statistical purposes but this number is the real unemployment, IE the actual number of people who are not employed. http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/susan-jones/record-94610... > The US's high employment rate is unquestionable, as much as you hate it and wish it to be worse. You're really trying to sound like an idiot aren't you? > Real Median Household Income is almost excactly the GDP per capita in the USA. So now you are comparing MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD (OFTEN TWO OR MORE PEOPLE COMBINED) income to AVERAGE PER CAPITA (SINGLE PERSON) income? Really? Embarrassing. Here is what the real median vs average incomes look like: https://www.ssa.gov/oact/cola/central.html http://qz.com/260269/painfully-american-families-are-learnin... > They absolutely are. Their programs are unaffordable, especially in Greece's case. So, your definition of 'feel good socialism' is 'they have unaffordable programs'? You amaze me with your depth of knowledge. > Because people are naturally racists and in ethnocentrist cultures people are happy. Sorry, go preach your NrX crap to the children over at /r/AnarchoCapitalism. It does not impress me. > Denmark is a mere 5m people, about half of the Chicago metropolitan area. How is that relevant, when their productive output is still dependent on their size? > I guess we arent allowed to talk about that ,but anything in the US's history is fair game, eh? You sound like an angry American redneck, who tries to yell 'Murica! Fuck yeah!' to whoever might hear you and try to defend America to people who don't have anything against the country in general and attack them with childish fallacious rants. All the while trying to cover up any issues that actually hurt American people. You are a brainwashed moron. |
