How is the average UK citizen not in poverty? How do you afford food?

>program manager in the nonprofit sector
>6 figures
for what? that's a solid 100IQ job for walled roasties who only get to drive gaudy tank-sized SUVs into the historic city center because their rich dad's social circle got them a C-suite husband in their mid to late 20s

USA economy is fake and gynocentric

>>213416302 (OP)
There's a reason so many Anglosphere companies outsource consultancy and tech work to us -- our service economy is built on comparatively awful wages

How does someone working on the NONPROFIT sector have a 6-figure salary?!?

what the FUCK is a program manager?

>>213416863
My dad was a manager at a non profit and made 100k
All he ever did was host small discussion groups talking about "democracy" and "civic engagement"
The non profit was funded by some coal mine. No idea why he was paid so much

>>213416863
America is a Ponzi scheme where the rest of the world are the chumps feeding the Americans at the top of it.

>>213416302 (OP)
are all non profits just fake? how the fuck do you make 6 figures doing charity?

>>213416941
It’s cause your economy is fake and gay nothing is based in reality, you’re the top dawg and can shape reality to your will

>>213416440
>>213416863
I don't think you realize that 100k is nothing in NYC. A hot dog costs like $17, bragging about making a 6 figure income in NYC is like bragging about being a billionaire in zimbabwe. You don't live comfortably, the only benefit to living there is being able to walk to your job, as long as you don't walk at night lol

>>213416863
Compared to a for-profit company in the same sector most non-profit have to pay slightly less wages

>>213416983
You are Jewish, you are supposed to know this. I get bombarded 24/7 with the World Food Programme ads on Insta asking me to donate for starving children in Palestine. They are starving alright but they are not starving because there's no food, they are starving cuz Israel won't let the food pass through. Of course WFP doesn't mention it and still asks for money which 100% are not going to reach the children, it's not the money that's the issue.

>>213417022
Guess NYC is a hellscape

>>213416302 (OP)
they literally are lol, Britain is a shithole outside of the big cities

>>213417056
Here we get the ones for starving Israeli widows

>>213416983
Non profits are used for tax evasion by the rich and to give friends/allies money. There's less tax rules for charities. You set up a non profit then give your family or friends high salaried positions in the non profit.
I want to say only something like 5% of a non profits money has to actually go towards what ever they're set up to do
Something like that

True but a lot of these jobs can be done remotely. Like my dad's job was mostly remote. a 100k salary in the Midwest goes a decently long way

Americans don't know how filthy rich they are in comparison to us. It always amazes me.

>>213417056
if all the aid is supposed to be free than why is it sold for top prices in the markets there? the gazans with guns steal it to make cash and starve their own.
the american org was supposed to solve this by handing it out directly but the media quickly joined the sellers campaign against it because the america/isreal bad gets clicks
anyway I don't care to talk about local politics in here so I won't add anything else on the subject.
>>213417219
state intervention for the win yet again.
I believe the same happened with art right? that's why there are so many shitty "artworks" selling for millions.

>>213417197
Imagine donating to a country with the GDP per capta of $54 000. Feed starving American children, my ass. Reminds me that after the 7th October 2023 Scholtz for mysterious reason decided to do an extra money disbursement and gave 300 euros to each Holocaust survivor in Israel. As if they need money or Germany is doing hot enough to carry for citizens of another state.

>>213416302 (OP)
UK people think they live ok eating beans for breakfast and having nightclubs, but aside from that, there's not much to do, so I don't think they need more money than that

>>213416440
Man I thought non-profits require PhDs or advanced degrees to get into like RAND or SRI or something

>>213417263
Most of the HUSTLE and BUSTLE types would rather be barely making ends meet in NYC than comfortable in Flyoverville 2bh

>>213417433
you don't even know how they work or make money, lol, for starters you need contacts

>>213417433
Non-profits require connections, that's it. All cushy jobs require connections, PhDs and degrees are just a social club where you get them in the first place. You are fucking Indian, why do you act as if you don't have hordes of well-educated and unemployed people?

>>213417110
>Britain is a shithole outside of the big cities
The big cities are the biggest shitholes in the country

>>213417433
a PhD makes you borderline unemployable

>Unitedstatians discovering people don't earn 50k for flipping burgers and that having 2k disposable income isn't below average

>>213417509
Is that why everybody with a brain goes to London while the rest of the country is working for wages that would make Alabama look good in comparison?

>>213417400
Doesn't everyone eat little for breakfast? Toast with jam. Maybe cereal, or granola. No one prepares a full English breakfast to eat every morning.

>>213417690
I thought it was the norm to have a full english breakfast, I never lived there, but I kind of believe you since it would be a hassle and UKies don't know how to cook, look at Gordom Ramsey or that other famous chef that uncle Roger brags about... ah, jamie oliver

>>213416941
I'm maximum two people away from you lol

>>213416952
It works because the military backs it up. Falls apart when the soldiers get hungry, just like the Roman empire did.

>>213417503
I wouldn't know, I'm too low IQ for anything other than shitposting, probably have an IQ of 60 or lower

>>213417022
hotdogs do not cost 17 dollars retard

>>213417899
Idk what you mean like you work a similar kind of job?

>>213417830
If you don't know the basics why are you responding in the first place?

>>213418983
Me and my family are very embedded in that world of American ngos

>>213419013
because I'm paying a data plan and I'm allowed to say my misconceptions, either true or false, like a normal internet user

>>213416302 (OP)
That's the good thing about Europe; everyone earns the same salary so everyone is equal.

>>213419142
>everyone is equal.
That's not even remotely true

>>213419030
Could be you've met my dad. It's a small world.
I think the non profit is bullshit, but i suppose if I had the opportunity to make six figures just to host small group discussions i wouldn't pass it up either
My dad is the kind of guy that actually believes in all the stuff and takes it seriously . Retired now

>>213416302 (OP)
They're utterly shit, a "good" BA salary is usually considered to be 70k with no bonus options. I suppose we have to pay all the useless boomers and idiot bureaucrats before people who actually contribute value to the company

>>213416302 (OP)
I feel a perverse sense of joy when witnessing an American realise how poor the rest of the world is.

I earn £40k and live in London, I also live with my parents

>>213419371
which is cool, I would live with them still if they were alived

> walled roasties who only get to drive gaudy tank-sized SUVs into the historic city center because their rich dad's social circle got them a C-suite husband in their mid to late 20s
Weirdly accurate description of my office manager, except she’s not walled or a roastie and it’s her dads law firm, the suv and historic district part is accurate tho

>>213419336
why

>>213419702
Americans bitch and moan about their problems while ignoring what life outside of the US of A looks like

>>213416863
Americans get paid more to make up for the fact that their public services are trash.

>>213417197
This can't be real surely? Evangelicals can't possibly be this Israel obsessed

>>213419868
This is cope your government tells you. If you got taxed at zero and had the best services you would still not make as much.

>>213420019
The main thing making people poor is housing and rent. That's pretty much the biggest devourer of peoples money in the UK, everything else isn't that expensive unless it's property based.

>>213419702
I just like it when firsties are confronted with the harsh realities of the world. I like it when they see how real people have to struggle.

>>213420075
We’re talking about salaries doe

>>213416863
they have the dollar printing machine.

>>213420167
Yeah but UK salaries are only bad relative to housing, everything else is pretty cheap even with the massive VAT on stuff.

>>213419972
This is definitely real. I remember seeing commercials for this on the TV when I was a kid. I was like 10 years old and even then I thought it was stupid, so that just goes to show how dumb boomers are.

>>213419664
>not walled
is she under 21-23?
>not a roastie
is "she" actually a "he"?

plenty of full time jobs in London offer 23,000£

wages in UK are ridiculously low considering how expensive it is

>>213420678
Those full-time jobs are for the immigrant slave labour. If you are a Britbong and you don't work in finance, get fucked, your profession has been outsourced.

>>213417022
who the fuck walks to their job at night

>>213420678
Those are for pakis who will gladly live 20 to a single tiny shoebox terraced house

>>213420678
I don't even bother applying to jobs anymore, it's depressing having to beg for a job that pays less than £30k a year here.

>>213417056
>implying any other GHAZZEH food charity money actually reaches starving kids instead of Khaled Mashal’s Yacht fund in Qatar

>>213421338
God save the King, mate. At least you can feel proud that your royalty ain't starving on the streets, amiright?

>>213421491
I don't get the point you're making. Richfags oligarchs rule every country, ours just wear silly hats.

>>213421877
Oligarchs in the USA in better countries, like the USA, at least contribute something in exchange. Bezos might be a self-interested fag but he provides cheap online delivery of a wide range of competitive products, meanwhile your oligarchs occupy their places because they are literally a specific bloodline. The American oligarchs work for it, yours worked for anything more than 300 years ago.

>>213421992
And yet, the end result is the same.

>>213422021
The end result is that British run away to the USA but very few Americans escape to the UK.

>>213422064
There are 250,000 Americans in the UK. Per capita, there are more American emigrants in the UK than Brits in the USA.
