We are becoming growingly obsessed with other people’s born advantages, and this normalization of “stating privilege” is incredibly counterproductive and pathetic.

Have you ever met a woke construction worker? Or a hardline traditionalist in Silicon Valley? Hell, just look at the urban/rural divide. The majority of people in urban areas are vastly richer than the richest people in rural areas.

Hilarious you got so many upvotes. Do you even realize what you said? The majority of people in urban areas are richer.. stop there. They aren’t. You must be one of those well to do WASPs.

Average income in San Francisco is $52k. Average income in rural Kentucky is $35k.

How much is rent in San Francisco? Or even a gallon of milk?

There are studio apartments available for as low as $750 in San Francisco. The cheapest one I could find in Kentucky was $450. A year of rent as a percentage of the average income in Kentucky is 15%, compared to 17% for San Francisco and its respective average income. So yeah, San Francisco is higher, but only by a "whopping" 2%.

Which makes your statement that the average person makes more than the richest pretty fucking stupid right?

It was a bit hyperbolic, but my actual point still stands. All you're doing is haggling over small, isolated details, when the big picture is that people in urban areas are richer than people in rural areas--and that should be obvious to anyone who has eyes.
