>UK less than someone in Mississippi
>UK is poorer than all of 50 American states
>Gets taxed 41% if you make anywhere north of 40k
>Walk outside of London and it gets much worse
....

How do Europeans even live? Is all of the UK just a backwater rural wasteland outside of London?
>>

yes lawyers make 20k in the UK lmao

Who cares

Im sure the poor sons of bitches in the UK care bro even their extremely educated make dog shit piss ass money

Anglicans are beneath even those from backwater rural states in America.

Well the mass exodus of professional class

The London experiment, to be a tax haven for modern wealth and create the NYC of Europe, has failed. They all fled to Dubai.

You have to remember that England still has a countryside. While it's the worst victim of the NGO woke Soros political shenanigans you could still break up some functioning parts in the future as London inevitably collapses

In the UK people are plumbers and electricians

>Yeah bro, we're totally living in squalid third world conditions. Life is hellish and brutal on our quiet walks through sleepy 99% white villages with centuries-old buildings. That's why British people are falling over each other to emigrate to the paradise that is Mississippi. Moron.
If you had a passport you could go to Europe yourself. American quality of life is terrible because you either live in a niggerfied urban crime dystopia or you live in a zoned gated community full of boomers with no amenities. When we look at places to emigrate we look at places like Switzerland, not fucking muttland...

complete bollocks. many people going to the US for work all the time and even more aspiring to.
>>
>>62378901
Net migration is from the USA to UK dude... If you're actually successful in the UK you get a second home in some rich part of Europe like Switzerland as I mentioned, or my business partner has property in the Dolomites. America hasn't been an aspirational destination for decades, same with Australia and Canada.

UK is a shithole but GDP is a retarded nonsense metric. all economists are on a one way trip to nigger hell.

if lights and clean streets are so cheap then why can't the so-called richest country in the world pull it off?

also the real dividing characteristic in the picture is a single high rise building vs multiple high rise buildings, a massive bridge, public transportation, etc.

>>62378898
England is abysmal, don’t be retarded. It’s only good if you are upper class, there are next to no jobs and they don’t hire white people. Everything has a retarded license attached to it, like AC, flooring, even shit like getting a drivers license costs thousands of dollars. Even public transport can take hours and is unreliable

They're called Europoors for a reason. The sad part is they actually don't comprehend how poor they actually are. There's a bunch of post on socials of Europeans coming to America for the world cup and being blown away by everything.

The figure in the UK is horseshit too btw. They never include "part time" workers and often only report household figures, as though it's 1960.
Incomes in the UK are pitiful and massively uneven. If you are outside of London (and don't work on a nuclear power plant in Cumbria) then you're doing well if you make 40k. This hasn't really changed for almost two decades because our economy is so crystalline and stagnant.
Increasingly, we are turning into Russia where the capital is an economic black hole. Most of the provinces aren't simply neglected they are actively deprived because boomers erupt in rage as the prospect of distrubing their "cute" countryside retirement home. We are basically cold Florida with DC and its suburbs attached.
PPP is complete nonsense as well. Shit is expensive here it isn't like Spain or Greece where things are actually cheap. A lot of stuff is even cheaper in the US.
>>
>>62377608
US just has more billionaires. Stop this cope. You do not deserve to feel pride in your shithole country.

Lmao I don't believe for one millisecond that thr average Dutch person has less wealth than the average Briton and certainly the average French person. Dutch people are more likely to own a home and housing there is about 60% more expensive. Not to mention incomes are better.
We are just very good at cherrypicking and cheating data here. It's an ordeal trying to find transparent figures for almost anything.

Back in 2020 in a rare chinese government report released showed that almost 1 billion chinese people earn less than $280/month, 600 million under $140/month.

He is right tho don’t count the Millie’s and billies and don’t spread them out on the average, we are poor as fuck

in japan stuff is actually cheap tho like housing is seriously affordable whereas prices in the uk are very close to the us

Lmao what? Is your gf retarded and had to take 100 driving lessons and 9 attempts at passing her practical?

UK is unironic hell as far as first-world countries go. No jobs, if you get a job you get paid fuck all, the education system is obtusely designed to stifle intelligent people (your path in life is determined by a decision you made at 16 which is influenced by a decision you made at 14), its tax hell, free speech doesnt exist, its turning into a surveillance state, the women are ugly and annoying, if you have kids they're gonna have miserable childhoods, its literal hell. Yookayers should leave the Yookay to literally anywhere else before Starmer shuts the borders down so nobody can leave the nightmare but everyone can come into it
>>
>>62383543
lessons cost £35+ an hour and the average number of lessons is 45 hours (based on figures which are likely inaccurate) ontop of time spent driving with a family member etc which also costs a few hundred in insurance
it's easy to see how it would cost a few thousand
>>
>>62383567
45 hours??? Admittedly I passed my test in 1998 but I had maybe 15-20 hours of lessons along with maybe 5 hours driving accompanied by my dad before I took my test. It was about £15/hour back then.
>>62383533

britain is rampant with "migrants."
>>
>>62383590
that's the average based on the self reported number people give when they do their exam, which itself costs £63-75 plus £23 per theory which on average takes just over 2 attempts
i would sooner believe people under report this figure than over report it
>I passed my test in 1998
so as someone who drove in 1998, do you think the roads are easier or harder to drive on now?
even ignoring the changes to the test, the roads now are simply more busy and more shit than they used to be
there are paki taxis, mini roundabouts, cyclists, old people, and parked cars everywhere which there didn't used to be nearly as much
i didn't start driving until about a decade after you but even i can remember it being substantially less bad
plus they don't want people to drive so they have made it stricter which also appeals to muh safety people love so much here
if you manage it for under £2k now then you did well
>>
>>62379022
I thought this wasn't a fair comparison, but
>Chongqing
32m ppl

3m ppl

So bank overdraft fees inflate gdp by over 10x?
