minus-squaregapbetweenus@feddit.delinkfedilinkarrow-up67·2 年前 My family is well into the top 5% globally Makes sense that you don’t understand the difference between have to work and be able to work and why we need to protect children who have to work.
minus-squareDreadPotato@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up22·edit-22 年前Top 5% globally isn’t really impressive, or financially well off in the US. If you make ~$20k/y in the US you’re almost top 5% income globally. Around top 5% range globally is probably somewhat poor in the US. The lowest middle class household income in the US is $40k/y Edit: but just to clarify, I wholeheartedly agree that we need to protect kids that have to work, or feel obligated/pressured to work.

minus-squareDreadPotato@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up11·2 年前I’m not the user claiming to be top 5% globally, I just pointed out it’s not really an indication that they’re wealthy (by “western” standards)
minus-squaregapbetweenus@feddit.delinkfedilinkarrow-up4·2 年前Ups, my fault - then again they claim to have plenty of money to go around, so not sure it’s that relevant of an observation.
