Nothing I was said was about "independent studies" versus "studies". I get your point, I'm just saying that wasn't part of what I found odd. I only used the phrase independent studies instead of studies because you did.

    Brother I only said what I said because you literally said you thought me saying it was weird.

    If you want to look at living standards you can compare cost of living, access to public transportation, cost of food, medicine, you name it. Its all cheaper and rapidly approaching parity with the west, if not already surpassing it.

    But again living standards are often highly correlated with approval of your nation and the government running it.

    I feel like there's some hostility or defensiveness and we keep talking past each other when trying to resolve it, so I'm going to drop the topic because I don't think there are actually any disagreements between us.
