You: "I'm pretty good at math (as I didn't go to school in Japan or Russia)"
Japan is better than america at math, regarding your claim "go to school in". Japan is also better than america in Reading and Science (i.e. they are better at everything).
You are "pretty good at math" but better at desperation and racism. Matches your moral low-ground and economic self-DISinterest regarding paying more to get less
Are the usernames in the room with you right now? Did you HEAR THAT?!?!!
What Is PISA? Why Does It Matter?
Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) is a global program whereby around 600,000 15 year students from different countries are put under a two-hour test to gauge their skills and knowledge, mainly in science, reading, and mathematics. PISA test questions don't gauge memorization of facts but demand that students draw on real-world problem-solving skills and knowledge.
America 16 of the top 25 universities in the world. Japan has 1 in the top 100. Why does Japan suck so bad at higher education? You pay so much in taxes and have sh*t universities. Be better!
Since you’re citing worldpopulationreview.com, I will too. It says the cost of living index for Japan is 77 but only 70 for the US. 10% more expensive to live in Japan than US.
p.s. Did you figure out how marginal tax rates work? Or was it too complicated for you?
You can't omit the 2nd biggest expense for americans.
On that dunk you actually pushed me up over you as I was clearing your head with my thighs. Did you like how I raked my shoe across your face as I threw it down?
Now... are the usernames in the room with you right now? Did you HEAR THAT??!?!

Glad you finally conceded the point. You had long since passed the point of embarrassing yourself - much like the Russian military.

americans get less for their money. you concede the point AND YOU HAVE TO LIVE IT!!! Buwah haha!! Talk about eating crow in your humble pie with egg on your face. Goodness me, you are blundering mess. Clean yourself up ffs. Get someone to wipe you off. Crying, trying to chew on crow feet, mushy feathers, mixed with tears and snot, can't see with eggshells crushed on your face...
If america is such a great place, why haven’t any universal healthcare countries abandoned their public sector schemes, with their superior health outcomes for less cost, and switched over to america’s for-profit deathcare? No country ever has. Zero.
Japan = $4,752 per year per person US = $8,895 per year per person (for worse health outcomes)
You go around threads lying, pretending that americans don’t have healthcare costs, then try to claim average americans have stronger financial positions / quality of lives than other developed countries. You don’t support average americans. You lie for rich americans.
You need to be kicked off LR. Reported.
“Mommy! The mean man on the internet keeps dunking on me. Make him stop.”

Japan = $4,752 per year per person US = $8,895 per year per person (for worse health outcomes)
GDP per capita:
US = $69,227
Japan = $39,246
So, yeah… I’ll gladly pay an extra four grand in healthcare costs while I pay less in taxes and pocket the extra $25k.
Before considering healthcare, you already get less for your earnings:
Cost of living one person
Japan $1171 United States $2112
Monthly salary after tax Japan $2440 america $4139
The average after-tax salary is enough to cover living expenses for 2.1 months in Japan compared to 2 months in america.
That is without healthcare expenses:
Japan = $4,752 per year per person US = $8,895 per year per person
But give us another source that doesn't calculate healthcare expenses so you can continue to mislead people and lie.
It seems like the pro-Russia trolls would love to talk about literally anything else than the Ukraine vs Russia war on the Ukraine vs Russia war thread. They would rather talk about the minutiae of inflation-adjusted healthcare in Japan than about the daily murder and war crimes committed by Russia while its armies are being decimated by cast-off NATO weapons while bashing their heads for the 117th day in a row against Ukrainian defenses in a never-ending series of strategically pointless frontal assaults.

Talking about america's problems will (maybe SOME DAY) help average americans. Misleading people, lying, and running from the truth never will.
Russia and Ukraine will never help average americans in america, unless you talk about the waste and damage it means for average americans in america. america's LNG takeover and subsequent profits will never trickle down to average americans who are forced to subsidize the start of this new business venture for the american business elite.
Privatize the profits, socialize the risk.
This is america’s national anthem, mascot, flag, pledge of allegiance, and global reputation.
It comes down to which americans you support. Average americans (the majority) or the rich ones who benefit. Pushing endless fake wars supports rich americans only. That's the business america is in. We have been through this before, many times.
How does sending billion to ukraine help average americans? And trillions to global terrorism during the Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama, Biden regimes. It doesn’t.
Only one poster in this thread attempted to answer this by saying it helps a tiny fraction of the american workforce from one sector, while hurting the majority of average americans.
The Fox/CNN sheeple brain trust here cannot explain how wasting / losing trillions of dollars via the pentagon helps average americans in america. Something about usernames surrounding you on all sides and closing in. Did you hear that?!!?!
Distinctive Features of the Contemporary Model for Russian Propaganda:
1) High-volume and multichannel
2) Rapid, continuous, and repetitive
3) Lacks commitment to objective reality
4) Lacks commitment to consistency.

I already answered that question for you: global hegemony is awesome. Where does Russia have military bases? Absolute hellholes (thanks to Russia) like Libya and Syria whose entire population is trying to leave the country as soon as possible. And the U.S.? We're everywhere, including in deluxe places (thanks to the U.S.) like Europe and Japan that are great to live in and wonderful to visit. We. Own. It. All.
Now that's out of the way, please stay on topic. If a thread on massive Russian casualties (have you seen the pictures of the fields outside of Bakhmut? Yikes!) is too painful for you, go play somewhere else.

ceccione Did you ever figure out how many of the those dead Russians in the fields outside Bakhmut the US gets credit for? Is it like 10% of the first 1,000; 12% of the next 1,000, 20% of the next 3,000; and 40% of the rest? Or is it a flat 30%?

"awesome" = america is a death and debt economy, killing 45,000 americans in america every year because they lack adequate healthcare (Harvard study).
If it's so awesome, why are you killing millions of americans in america over decades to be so awesome? That's like losing a Vietnam war every year, decade after decade, because global terrorism is more important, because rich americans are more important than you.
The weakest countries on earth cannot defend their own people and that's america.
america also leads in gun violence, bankruptcies, incarceration, and you have shanty towns on the streets in every major american city. More homeless per capita than China or Russia. More gun violence too.
Again, the weakest countries on earth cannot defend their own people and that's america.
