Do they even out-earn people of Jewish descent? Honest question. I thought 10% of billionaires are Jewish, or something like that.

The main problem is housing in my opinion. Everything else is affordable enough. It takes a few months to build a house, but decades for someone to pay it off, assuming they even have a job. Doesn't make sense.

Since Strong A.I hasn't been invented yet, I don't think anyone knows which language is best for A.I. Maybe it'll just be something boring like Java.
