As I recently said to a friend: "I fucking hate being right."

And he said "I fucking hate you being right."

(he was never in disagreement, he just still had a sliver of hope)

Sorry buddy but there's never been a Republican party as dangerous as the current one. Ne-fucking-ver.

You clearly have no idea what shit is like outside the US.

Hope for you that you make it to the next election, the way you're talking you're probably part of the people the Republicans want to eliminate, try not to make too much of a Pikachu face when that happens!

As someone that's been lucky enough to live outside the US most of my life, any country in the EU would require decades of economic depression to reach the disgrace that is the US cost of living vs income.

Really, your link includes healthcare costs, so unemployment benefits, welfare, and food costs?

I haven't clicked on it but if it's a GDP comparison alone or an inflation comparison that does not include that, edit: I don't know how to address what you just linked, given it has nothing to do with the conversation.

All countries where you dont ever have to worry about working while sick, and can go to the hospital freely.

You're really not understanding how shit the US is.

You're the one who talked about the cost of living, not me!

Which is what I'm continuing to talk about.

I'm the only one who showed actual numbers on cost of living, you then switched to talking about what happens in certain specific situations, so you went from talking about the macro to talking about the micro because I showed that you were wrong about there being no European country where the cost of living is higher than in the USA.
