Odd they did not name that foreign country.

It was California.

Already accomplished in various ways.

The most important way was eliminating silver and gold coins and making the world dependent on currency which they can print at will.

Let's look at medians instead. Half make more and half make less, so it's a much more representative measure. From DeepSeek:

As of the most recent data (2022-2023), the median personal income in the U.S. is approximately $40,480 per year (pre-tax) for individuals aged 15 and older.

As of the most recent U.S. Census Bureau data (2022), the median household income in the United States was $74,580 per year (pre-tax). This is the official estimate from the American Community Survey (ACS), widely cited for demographic and economic analysis.

Hans Hermann-Hope: Grouchy smartass theoretician
Milei: Abolishing Peronism with a Chainsaw of Liberty

The former complains about the latter.

Amazing how Glibertarian smartasses in the US spend all their time defending tinpot dictators and explaining why authoritarian regimes should be left alone, and focus on open borders and legal crack. Meanwhile Milei eliminates entire government departments and after purging thousands of civil servants, makes the rest have to re-test for their jobs.

Yes, you point out a statistical trick. However, does that "$35,000 average" include the total wages divided by all people, including housewives and children?

"does that "$35,000 average" include the total wages divided by all people, including housewives and children?"

I don't think it does. In the USA you have two major forces against the
dollar: Inflation and a weakening currency.

Peter Thiel and Bibi are doing a great job controlling our government.

Massive improvements these past few months, though there's a lot left to do

Kulak, remember your history please. This is scary stuff man. Nazi Germany created registration that seemed like an improvement to bureaucracy and harmless, but 10 years later was used to round up and kill Jews. Sooner or later, a very bad group of people come to power, and only thing that limits them is government tech. Ever since NSA and Patriot Act we've been going down Orwellian state at rapid speed. And no president since stopped it. We still have Guantanamo, we still have surveillance state, we are getting digital ID's, any modern car you buy spies on you and can be remotely controlled.

And world is heading toward either war or collapse, capitalism petered out, planet has its limits. And during difficult times is when government claws come out. It'll be scary stuff.

Real ID is the only way to track illegals and especially overstays reliably.

The resistance to Real ID comes from Koch and other mass scale illegal employers like Piedmont Poultry Pluckers and California Lettuce Plantation Owners and Larry's Leaky Roofs, who will then have No Plausible Excuse as to why they employed illegals.

Whenever you fly, the Airline and the Government already have tons of identifying info without Real ID. From the ticket number to the list of passengers. If they want to hound you, American Airlines or the City/State Port Authority will hand it right over, no warrant needed. This was true before the Patriot Act.

There is absolutely zero impact on people who are already US Citizens, being identified as US Citizens. The government already has your birth certificate, DD214, signature, SSN, etc.

I agree with @Fortwaye

Think of your worst enemies knowing everything about you and able to track and block your every movement.

Remember way back when, before any sort of internet, that we had phone books? Any enemy that knew your name could easily find your phone number and exact home address. Sometimes just by calling "information." Very few had unlisted numbers.
