Way to down vote my comment without posting that data you refer to. Nominal wages surged post-pandemic in Q2 2020, but cooled off after then. Someone already replied to my comment with a Brooking institute article which confirms the figure

You can take your pick of any point since the pandemic. Wage growth has essentially stayed flat with inflation, whether that be a slight increase or decrease. Much of the nominal wage growth with white collar workers would have been tied

This rise since 2021 can be easily seen in the graph in the article I posted also, but the catch is that the increases have been relatively flat where they can been found, and that increase followed a lowering in real wages. Whichever way

Real wages (adjusted for inflation) have fallen since November 2020. https://www.statista.com/chart/32428/inflation-and-wage-grow...

PPP is only useful for measuring regional purchasing power within a country. As a metric for comparing the relative strength of global economies it is irrelevant.

I'm not sure whether it is as simple as every country being the same in this regard. On the average, I'd assume the average citizen of a non-US country to be more informed about the US political landscape, than vice versa.

Yes, that absolutely serves as evidence. I don't think what was written in the comment I replied to serves as evidence by itself though, which is all I was pointing out.

The idea that the lab was in Wuhan due to the prevalence of bat coronaviruses in the region was one of the most frequent, yet almost universally unreferenced claims, that was made to explain away why the virus coincidentally showed up first

Their only determining criteria is essentially internal natural resources, which excludes any advanced industries. You could also add Israel and Taiwan to the list of advanced resource poor countries.

The "fair world" positioning of their comment makes little sense. It reads as if they believe that a economy should be based solely on resource extraction and if a country doesn't have plentiful resources in their borders, t

That is true, but the Onion is also a shell of its former self. The Onion became a household name because of how widely consumed it used to be. It doesn't have anywhere near that reach or cultural influence today.

Non-US citizens can't get a security clearance. Permanent residents can at most get a limited access authorization. The SpaceX case involved ITAR, not clearance.
