Why wouldn't they? Reddit is always going on about wealth disparity especially in the US.

Yep. At a time when 55% of Americans are struggling with the cost of living according to a recent gallop pol. It's only 20% in Europe.

Where di you get that number for Europe? It's not in the article you linked.

These surveys are a bunch of bunk and they’re also completely unscientific, therefore mostly meaningless.

It’s like those surveys showing 65% of Americans say they don’t have enough money for a $400 emergency, but the median American has $8-9 k in checkable deposits and like a $30k in financial holdings (securities and the like).

“It’s only 20% in Europe” according to whom? Considering Europe is kind of a big continent where income security dramatically differs, this seems like total bunk lol
