>Look at the cost of doing things or making things or things in the US. Look at housing prices. Look at rents. Look at food prices (actual food, like animal fat, animal meat, eggs, fish, not industrially produced slop). Look at the cost of electricity, of transportation or cars. Americunts have to commute long distances for work. And, typically, for most of them, only a car makes their commute even possible. And they also need to travel long distances to buy their groceries.
