It’s almost like we’ve made a conscious decision as a society to prioritize fairness, equality and lending a helping hand to those less fortunate. Rather than accepting poor people dying because they can’t afford medical care so that Elon Musk can buy another jet.
I try not to be bothered with other cities and think about when we couldn’t afford a whole lot in the 90s but were still happy.
This is [a misuse of exchange rates](https://x.com/stephenfgordon/status/1841973294083227928?t=RK1fIgPBWl569WBEL9m71w&s=19). The methodology isn’t good enough to do this. It gets you in the right ballpark, and there’s no doubt the US is wealthier than Canada, but that’s as far as you can go.
