I keep reading this but why american wages are so high? An european tradie like me gets 15k at best and yet a guy like me gets at least twice as much in america if not more.

Or is it just a larp? What's the cost of living in america is it higher than mine?

Where the fuck do you live? Romania? The United States has one of the highest average incomes and buying power. The cost is college debt and going bankrupt for having a heart attack or cancer.

Yepp, that's how it is here in Europoor. Though, here in Scandinavia the salaries ain't too bad. A year of education to become an electrician and you make more money than engineers. The salaries are really unbalanced here.
40k/year would be nice fellow eurobro, but what can we do? I already work two jobs and still am making pathetic money by US standards... and everything is more expensive here than in the US... wtf am I even doing? And I can't even move to the US since I am not vaxxed, fugg

Too many foreigners on this board to be the bottom yet.
We got probably 12k to go before we really shake off these scum parasites.

Its all just a bit bluff like everything american, most importantly its BIG, because BIG IS BETTER, the same goes for wages, bloated and inflated, like their cost of living and real estate

Just look at their rent and house prices, the cost of food (dozen eggs $9) no wonder they make 100k yet live paycheck to paycheck

The big redpill is that its the fucking same everywhere, there isnt a paradise with high pays and not some kind of drawback, no free lunch, some are just bigger shitholes then others

The idea of capped wages come from the political rhetoric that it is immoral when people earn too much money for thier jobs, what you get is a regulated ceiling. This is the socialist society that was wished for

What matters is disposable income. You also need to take quality of life into account. Those six figure salaries are only common in huge cities where people live like rats with streets full of tents and needles. The alternative to those cities is living in natural disaster areas.
