If things like health in your country are more expensive, your GDP immediately shoots up.

Also, having the dollar as the world currency inflates the purchasing power of the US because they are literally selling dollars to the world instead of exports. It is differences in purchasing power of imports which drive the differences in your pic, user, because the prices of non-tradables are usually much lower in poorer countries in relative terms.

But their consumption is higher too.

I think they already got all of our secrets though electronic espionage — that's why they're so "rich"!

First, notice how that graph is inconsistent with the first one.
Second, read my second post The US is richer on average than Europe but not that much richer if you account for the two points I brought up.

wages are pretty good when combined with cost of living

but its largely people making +60k a year... or people making 25k (which sucks)

because we work 40 hours a week, and richer people usually work more than that

we are richer than 90% of europe

are we richer than germany or france? im not sure

It's our blacks - want some?

GDP measures movement of money, it has no correlation to technological or cultural progress nor does it tell anything about how sustainable the growth is.

Americans live in way bigger homes.

You waste your money more, keeping up equality and screw your productivity with 2-months of vacation time? (lucky bastards - I was in industry for 25 years, moved to a new job and got .. 2 weeks' vacation.)

We can send you all our blacks. They WUZ n shiet

We have more natural resources, tech, and less economic interventionism. People are incredibly individualistic and ambitious here. That's really all it is...

...

It's clearly consumerism. They buy shit they don't need and replace them regularly. I've noticed it's starting to entrench itself in Europe too - lots of useless new shopping malls are opening and the quality of (especially electronic) goods is falling rapidly to increase consumption while trades are going down the gutter.

our homes are built with wood and our population density isn't as high as yurop. we have enough room to have bigger homes and can afford to build them

you have a washer but not a dryer? what the fuck is wrong with you eurotrash?

Clothes drier? I have one, but most people use clothes drying racks or lines in applicable areas such as old cities with narrow streets or rural areas.

>usa at the bottom for cellphones per 100 people
i wonder what the explanation is

also
>uk
>3 cars per 1000
top lel. public transportation using peasants

we make all the games and you guys stay at home playing them

We dry out clothes on the balcony. Same thing as a dryer who cares

that's almost certainly a typo, more like 30% (in 1999)

Enjoy having bird shit, pollen, and dust on your freshly washed clothes yuropoors

socialism hit europe a lot harder than north america

freest market economy for the longest time
same reason britain was the richest in the world at one point

it's changing though. asia stronk

Eat burgers and inject fry oil.

Guns.

What is so hard to understand?

Guns = Wealth

Also this

Being jewish slaves has its benefits

the usa was great before the jews infected us. they've only been detrimental. even as our country is 55% white we still persevere while australians are allegedly white and can't even manage a triple digit iq score collectively. sad!

They dont brutto includes insurance in europe

Israelis are nigger tier and rely on American welfare too.

damn right it is

This. They force the rest of the world to use the US dollar to buy/sell oil, they export billions of dollars and the (((federal reserve))) can print itself some more money. They basically export all of their inflation and every middle eastern conflict they've been in has related to threats to the petrodollar.
If the US dollar was stopped as an oil currency their money would be ruble-tier and their economy would collapse.

That's why their foreign policy will continue not matter who's in charge.

Debts - coming out of ww2 America was the only country not ravaged by the war. Through the Marshall plan, the US loaned money for Europe to rebuild, solidifying the dollar as the world reserve currency.

Since then rhe US kept the dollar hegemony by making sure that the most important commodity (oil ) is only denominated in the dollar. Saddam and Qudaffi both wanted to switch to an alternative method.

US has the printing press. Just like the island of Manhattan was bought for beads hundreds of years ago, the US is able to buy resources/human capital through green paper or even digital numbers, all the while controlling the release of fresh currency via the private/public federal reserve.

Mfw still in debt that is unpayable so i suspect one of the potential solutions is to gradually inflate your way out of it.

But the us was richer before ww2

Mississippi is Spain tier

Well then I'd say less regulation, moar laissez faire, moar natural resources perhpas?

push ups, sit ups and plenty of juice,

This guys.

I know you like to shit on us for being wage slaves, but we don't get 4 hr drunk lunches and we work 8hrs a day

mfw Spain is always last

This is true too.

Americucks are complete consumer zombies. Scary sometimes desu

...

Being fat and dumb will do that to ya

tfw when americans work more than salarymen

...

Fucken rekt

Most of this is because we don't have crazy required benefits.

How are you supposed to make money in france
>Endless Maternity leave
>Massive mandatory vacation times
>Taxes up the ass
>10000 regulations
The list goes on

don't forget, we got a lot of hourly wage earners in those countries, incentivizing or requiring them to work longer hours

jews

half of israeli are sephardi arab jews. usa is controlled by the ashkenazim.

Americans manipulate the money markets to however they wish. Americans can literally buy all the labor and commodities of foreign countries with NOTHING, they can just issue currency backed by esoteric symbols and buy out everything a small country has, for NOTHING.

GDP is a shitty measure of the economy. It's basically just the amount of money spent.

So let's give some examples of where this might lead to problems.
>Debt-spending supercharges your GDP at the future's expense
>An area with a higher cost of living displays a higher GDP, even though quality of life may be the same or worse (California for example)
>Fewer transactions for the same resource will net a lower GDP. For example, in the UK health care is simply provided for. In America you have money changing hands six ways to sunday

imagine you live in an average neighborhood, but there's one huge house on the block surrounded by water. to the north is a trailer. to the south is a sombrero. these big homeowners are responsible for cutting the yards in the hood, security, and it's the one house you go to when you need a short loan.

it's big because it always was. it's safe because they constantly shoot everyone. it's rich, because because they constantly threaten to shoot everyone. and you own a nice home down the road, in the first world, so your own property increases in value. america runs the show because if it was unstable, the neighborhood goes to hell. it's a vested interest, and one we are way willing to defend. your success=our success. welcome to the west.

They aren't communist faggots

Work ethic and Optimism. Plain and simple.

I've been to Europe 10 times and, quite simply, you people just don't fucking work. All your grandiose bullshit took fucking forever to build and now you all just maintain your shit rather than continue to strive.

But your laziness pales in comparison to your biggest problem. Cynicism.

Your cynicism is a fucking joke. I swear to God I don't know if there's a single optimist among you. Just constant sarcasm and cynicism and just, ugh, negativity. Americans believe in themselves. We give each other shit, sure, but we still believe another American is worth 10 Euros.

And that's precisely why this country is showing signs of struggle now, too. It's been infected by that European cynicism. Overrated. The whole lot of you.

You criticize America for its young age and lack of culture, and yet, it's attained more wealth, power, might, and status in the history of the world than you all could have ever dreamed in your tired and lazy excuses you call your European civilizations.

You have to go all the way back to Rome, at least, to find a metaphor and, even then, motherfuckin' Caesar would be in awe of this place.

Jealous you're not American? You should be.

Git gud fags.

[ALL COPYPASTA RIGHT RESERVED]

...it's true, though...

I agree.
But the us leads in actual individual consumption and household disposable income: data.oecd.org/hha/household-disposable-income.html
Which don't have the problems you mention.

But that is retarded projection not based in reality.

The petrodollar

>Jealous you're not American? You should be.

it's not nothing- the example you made requires shell corporations, lobbies, political influence, and manipulation! those are expensive overheads. we don't throw money into nothing unless it involves regional unrest/violence. that's where the printed bags of cash and shit goes.

I wonder what happened between 1900 and 1950. Really makes you think.

>ENVY THE COUNTRY THAT HAS HEROES DO YOU?!

>AND I SAY PITY THE COUNTRY THAT NEEDS 'EM!

>money

>West Virginia is on par with the UK and higher than France, Italy and Spain

So one of the poorest states in America is actually richer than numerous Western European countries?

>Greece

>idontbelieveyou.gif

Yes, because West Europe is a socialist nightmare compared to America.

america's economy is a paper tiger, a huge bubble surviving on the fact the dollar is the world's reserve currency and nobody holds the FED accountable

>jacked up medical and education prices
>crumbling infrastructure everywhere
>empty malls, empty buildings, empty houses everywhere
>transactions are kept unnaturally high via planned obsolescence (electronics) and corruption (e.g. car dealerships reselling the same car 50 times)
>demand is artificially stimulated via multiple forms of social engineering (paranoia = more guns / urban sprawl = more gas) and straight up predatorial marketing (food industry)
>two of their main industries, finance and entertainment, have nothing to do with the real economy and are pretty much useless in war time
>the only successful part of their economy, tech, is dominated by pajeets that could take it elsewhere if needed

america's economy is extremely fragile, it is not driven by demographics like it should be, their citizens are nothing but consuming machines and the moment they catch up to that the bubble is going to pop

you want a good look at the state of america's economy, look no further than these videos:

youtube.com/watch?v=MfsmHFQHGoM

yep
but keep in mind you can buy more stuff with a dollar in this state
so gap is even wider

Mall aren't relevant since amazon

Mfw the south

Because murrica is basicially a more homo erotic closer version of europe with x times the size of it
of course it makes more money
also add a nice mix of propaganda and jewishness, and et voilà, usa is doing slightly better than europe
the problem also is, merkel is a fucking cuck bitch, who doesnt want to take the world lead
we could step our game up, and probably become world leader in terms of economy, the problem is, merkel is a fucking kike loving sub whore, who doesnt know what to do, and likes beeing badly treated by usa
as long as this will happen, we will be number 2 in terms of money,power,economy

Europe needs another Hitler. Then you guys can catch up to our lard asses.

>US essentially has been independent for 300 years and has had time to develop economically and socially

>Meanwhile everyone in Europe shoots the shit out of eachother for the past 300 years

>America exploits the damaged, crushed countries of WW2 by giving them loans thus making themselves even wealthier as Europe loses it's colonies and continues to decline

Has to do with centuries of constant warfare whilst America has been isolated from the rest of the world.

>has been isolated from the rest of the world.
The Americans invaded the rest of the world you stupid french bastard, beginning with you, your job was to carry the standard of Revolution to the heart of Europe.

>Work ethic and Optimism.

i.e. enjoying taking it in the ass

this is what differentiates americans from the rest of the world, nobody likes to stand up for the rights of their overlords as much as the american

>it's attained more wealth, power, might, and status in the history of the world than you all could have ever dreamed in your tired and lazy excuses you call your European civilizations.

lol silly ass american, so full of itself

looking at it objectively, what has the U.S. accomplished that's so unique in history?

regarding military might: you are not unchallenged in this world like the roman empire was, you don't have the upper hand in tactics against other western countries, you don't have the upper hand in technology either (other nations have the atom bomb), you don't have the upper hand in sheer numbers, all your military might stems from pure economics which allow you to have control of the seas and exert influence (not dominance) worldwide, that's it

that's where you actually suceed, economic, scientific and cultural influence throughout the globe, that's undeniable sure, but it's also hardly unmatched in human history

your are like on the level of the portuguese empire actually if you adjust for historical inflation, just like you the portuguese for a century dominated the seas of the known world, got incredible wealth out of it and left their cultural mark throughout the globe

and you'll never get on england's level because you are already going downhill

>brazil
Jesus Christ, I dropped it at the (you).

>Vermont has both a higher GDP and white population than sweden
HAHAHAHAA how can swedecucks even compete

Am I supposed to be impressed by this

ALASKAMASTERRACE

yes and the U.S. has 1.1 million retail stores, 47.000 shopping centres and 1.100 shopping malls, most of which are struggling to compete with online

amazon is going to eventually bulldoze their entire retail sector and it's going to hit their economy BIGLY they won't even have jobs to show up for it since their warehouses are starting to be run by robots

this is what they get for having those shitty suburbs instead of functional cities where people walk around to do stuff

face it lardman

you're on the level of the portuguese empire at best

Jews, inflation, arms industry, Jews again

Also, the fact that there is no control over anything so the USA is a huge bubble of economic speculation ready to explode anytime

The bigger they are, the harder they fall

lol. I'd tell you to kill yourself but I wouldn't want the bullet to waste It's purpose on a Brazilian.

>he thinks because the U.S. has 10 aircraft carriers they are the greatest civilization on earth since the fucking romans

HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

>implying "Europe" is a single country or ever can be

Just accept that we are the GOAT.

This?

That's an outdated chart. Since 1993 we've had a housing boom and crash (but the houses still exist).

Houses that are being built now average 2,687 square feet.

If those stats are right, then California is giving Ireland a run for it's money. How much of California is "entertainment" vs "agriculture" ?

the romans had 0 aircraft carriers, the romans actually had 0 aircraft.

objectively, America is greater then rome

No WWI on our soil, too.

idk. What happened?

This is the type of myopic, dumb, pessimistic bullshit that has to explain why you guys never seem to help push humanity forwards.

Most of those stores closing is a GOOD thing. The reason Amazon is doing so well is because US consumers are shopping there instead of those brick and mortar places. The money into the economy doesn't just disappear, dumbass. Now the money flows to a more efficient space, AND the real estate that used to be occupied by those strip malls now has a chance to be developed into other businesses. Be it a technology park, housing, school, etc. People obviously want their money to go elsewhere, and it'll spur growth in different areas.

In the USA, we actually welcome change like that. Yes, you typically find that in the suburbs right now, and that's a good thing. Cities are great for certain things and so are rural areas. We happen to have incredibly ambitious people inhabiting both places.

Stop being so pessimistic and looking for ways to dump all over things. How about you try and apply yourself and look for ways to be more efficient and fulfilled? Maybe you'll stop hating yourself so much. Good luck, faggot. You'll need it.

Copy/Paste
You are gay

You're an idiot if you think the US is not as great or better than the Roman Empire. You do realize that Empire was highly flawed and doomed to fail. Just like the US. It may not last as long but that's just a sign of the times. Everything including empire failure happens much faster than before.

North Americans didn't murder any Jew we could get our hands on and recruit shitskins to take their places.

this is what I was talking about, around 8 million people are about to lose their jobs in retail and all amerilards have the balls to do is defend (((jeff bezos)))' """"right"""" to suck all the money of retail right into his pockets

nobody said the money is disappearing, it's getting concentrated into a few hands. why are americans so blind to wealth inequality? you realize it's practically a natural phenomena, right? search for zipf's law, things in the universe, even word usage, tend to get exponentially concentrated and when you allow it to go unchecked in the economy you are faced with certain abuse of power and subsequent human disaster

newflash: innovation is creative destruction, it might get better down the road for all of us but there's a ton of destruction to be made, going
"forward" is not automatically the right thing to do
