That is an incredibly privileged thing to be able to say tbh.

how? I'm pointing out the financial situation has gone to such shit that having a house and a profession that pays what a profession is worth would make you a millionaire.

Note that I'm not saying that all professionals are millionaires or own houses; which is the fucked up part. No one is paying what things are fucking worth.

    8.5% of Americans are millionaires. There are a few countries even higher than that, but in general, it's significantly higher than most places in the world.

    Put it this way: More than 50% of the entire world's millionaires (in USD of course, not local currency) are Americans. But Americans are only ~4% of the world's population.

    It really is the land of opportunity IF you're a professional doing... something.

    ok, so why are you busting my balls? I don't own a house , nor do I live in the US. Why are you saying I'm privilaged for pointing out that my fucking meager existence wouldn't be all that impressive even if I was a millionaire, and that these fucking US comedians are undercharging the saudi pricks for the whitewashing they are doing?
