High wages for the top 1% of earners... Your minimum wage is a fucking joke

Good health care for those that can afford it... The rest die with medical debt, hence the chart above.

All your food is garbage. When I travel there I find it almost impossible to eat well without just going to the grocery store and living on fresh produce. It's disgusting.

The things you listed are only available to the well off.

We have the 5th highest median income in the world, behind Luxembourg, UAE, Norway, and Switzerland. Median is insensitive to outliers, and 3 of the 4 countries that beat us have some notable asterisks.

We have objectively high wages. America has a shit ton of shitty problems, but across the board we have money.
