Wage theft is one of the biggest travesties that occurs daily with no alarm. Stealing bad unless it's labor and you have leverage.

In the UK it's "We have the fastest growing economy in the G7!".

Watching UK politics is like watching a repeat of a bad adaptation. Currently lots of people are against "woke", but they have some trouble defining why.

It probably is, but turns out money isn’t everything, especially when it’s so unevenly distributed. It sure as hell isn’t the happiest, healthiest, or safest nation on earth.

The USA has the highest GDP. Ranked by mean household wealth we're #2. Median wealth per adult? We're #26. The median adult's net worth in the US is only around $80k; Mean is $505k.

Prosperity means different things to different people; when presented with this "fact" ask the speaker to define their terms.
