      It’s weird that you think someone making more than 30-35% of the country is “poor”

      You’ll forgive me for not putting much stock in your “total guess” when you believe as you do.

          A) it’s fun how I can tell you’re from a wealthy family

          B) all averages are calculated the same way. That’s what “average” means. It’s literally a method of calculation.

              If I’d meant median or mode I would have used those words. Average is equivalent to mean.

              Your link even says this, if you’d bothered to read it.

              Mean: The mean is what you get by adding up all of the numbers and dividing by how many numbers were in the list. Most people think of the mean when they use the word ‘average’ in a mathematical sense.

            People are so poor nowadays that saying somebody’s from a wealthy family has become an insult.

              No it’s just calling out the “rich progressive savior” mindset, and it’s always been derogatory.

                It’s sure neat how when centrists can no longer defend exploitative labor practices, they attack the person they’re talking to. Usually it’s with “You don’t understand how anything works” or “I assume you’re young and therefore wrong.” “I assume you have money and are therefore wrong” is a new one.

                  He’s wrong without his money, his money just informed me of why he is wrong in this particular way.
