Europoors are extremely poor compared to Americans both in dollars earned and how much the actually consume. They care a lot more about the weather because they don't even have fucking air conditioning.

yea but most run a family business and if things get too hot, they close shop and head to the beach with a flask of wine. Catch a few fish and do beach fish-fry as they watch the sun set over the ocean.
But id rather work a 60 hours week in air conditioned office to make 20% more money than them.

just off the top of my head the 'consumption' stats are retarded and GDP is retarded cause something like 20% of US is "healthcare" then there's tons on military and jew financial shit. but this is all considered "consumption" by regular prowls even though its inflated BS and in many cases doesnt amount to shit (US has lower life exp than EU)

Your poor understanding of the economy is just like your shit understanding of everything. This is probably why you're a failure generally and especially at stock trading.

They’re not actually. In fact, they’re probably still wealthier than modal Americans. All these wealth numbers fail to account for their pensions, healthcare, and job security.

They are far wealthier when you consider that still in most places you can live in a safe yet cheap community with actual enjoyable public spaces and trains that go to the next town over twice a day.

Also way less interactions with minorities, "bad schools", etc. Yeah, there are urban areas where everyone is Muslim, and you avoid those areas but it's not like the US where you really can't avoid it without paying $$$.

cr working 10 hours a day for a petulant dickhead making dollars to your pennies all for money that buys you increasingly little while being left to dodge scam after scam stranded and isolated in a faceless, morally depraved sea of hostile immigrants and mercenaries all on the backdrop of an ugly, commercialized, chinese-built, perpetually shifting soulless landscape of chintzy facades over "best bid" utility architecture is superior to whatever those eurocucks are doing
those spaniards with their great food, 3 hour workdays, ages old *actual* communities, laid back lifestyles, generous benefits, aesthetically and spiritually uplifting architecture, few foreign entanglements, and coherent national and regional cultures don't know how shitty they actually have it

A good head of legal role in UK can be as low as £100k/120k. But, they don't have the insurance payments Americans have. Cost of living is generally lower. Holidays are generally less expensive. You might not climb the rungs into a new bracket, but you'll have a very comfortable and happy life. Tall daisies get cut. Accept your station and stay in your lane.

It’s basically a bimodal system where American based firms are still paying close to US market rates and the everyone else is paying half as much or less than half as much. You can still make a ton at Google Amazon other US tech companies and many do. But yeah, if you want a job at some euro euro company, you’re gonna take a huge haircut (but probably actually get to take your vacation days and work a relaxed job)

I pay like 45 percent tax rate but you can deduct a lot more so high earners can get a decent chunk back. Random expenses on your home are fully deductible, most people will deduct a lot for dinners and stuff anytime there’s anything close to a business purpose. It’s not like US where it’s so hard to deduct anything

What role? My ex works at Google Cloud and makes over 300k eur. No way they’re making 600 plus in US as engagement leads. I personally make a US style salary as in-house. My wife makes US style comp in sales at a US based tech company
