I wonder how many black girls in Africa, where the average income is $4k, would love to have the problem of being a black girl in what the US defines as poverty, which at the high end is several times that. And they would certainly love to grow up in USA with its greater opportunites, leading to a $44k average african american income.

Substack, the Brits average income is about $7000 more than we Yankee, so we are about comparable. In the United States, the average income is around 31,000. In England, it’s £31 447 or about $38,000. England and the United States' standard of living isn’t that far off compared to Africa; that’s why your comparison isn’t comparable!

"England and the United States' standard of living isn’t that far off compared to Africa"?

I'm talking about planet Earth, to be clear.
