I think the user you're responding to is referring to an infographic which idk is accurate.

That said, almost all reliable statistics say that the top 10% of the US population hold something like 70% of all wealth in the US, so it's not exactly inconceivable that a global redistribution would bring the bottom 90% of Americans a bit more wealth just because of how much wealth is being horded

i think "average" is doing a lot of work here but with how unequal the US is, yeah i'd believe it.

when they say "average" person they really mean "median" person. otherwise there'd be no point to making the top part of that picture

(yes anglos are notoriously bad at english)

I'm curious how this is calcualted, is it purely money? Cuz I think a lot of consideration should be given to things like infrastructure and industrial capacity.

Also, surprisingly, Scandinavians and Germans would be getting a slight upgrade, yet Canada is part of the true imperial core unlike the US. Spain is a bit of a weird outlier here too.
