It’s incredible that you don’t understand that wealth in UK is not evenly distributed. I have been to poor countries, and I’ve also seen what poverty in places like US and UK looks like with people living in tents and eating out of trash. You are a smug because you won the birth lottery and never had to deal with real hardship, but all that cold change very quickly under the capitalist system you champion. One day it could be you sleeping under a bridge and scavenging for rotten food in the garbage, not gonna be so smug then.
There are tent cities all over G7 countries right now. People literally go bankrupt in US when they get sick. Children in UK can’t get full nutrition. Meanwhile, I grew up in USSR, so I think I know what it’s like to live under a communist system a lot better than some ignoramus from UK.
Western Europe. You wont find many, if any homeless person on the street here.
There are good support systems in place and people happily take advantage of it.
Plenty of expats working here as well, shouldnt be to hard to get a working visa.
Median wage is pretty good though

lol median wage is pretty terrible https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_European_countries_by_average_wage#European_countries_by_monthly_median_wage
Which is precisely why the standard of living is the way the article in the submission describes.
Yeah life is terrible in one of the richest countries in the world lol.
Have you actually been to a poor country?

That data was really interesting and does seem to show that wealth is being progressively transferred upwards after WW2.
I read somewhere recently that since 1945 $50 trillion had been earned by top 1% while wages have remained relatively flat for working people.

Source? I call bullshit.
What world are you living in that you don’t know this and can I be invited? Haha
The only exception is, maybe, Japan because I can imagine them being heavy-handed but I’ve never visited so I don’t know their homeless situation.

Is google blocked at the troll farm you’re working from?
Some guy below posted the links to official statistics and it shows you are overdramatizing the situation.
Well said.
