What California governor Newsom said after an Alabama senator called LA ‘a third world country’
A U.S. senator from Alabama let loose on Los Angeles. Here's what California Governor Gavin Newsom said in response.
“Lock him up,” Tuberville told the news website about Newsom. ”LA looks like a third world country — anarchists are in charge, law enforcement is being attacked, and the rule of law is nonexistent."
An hour later, Newsom took to X to reply to the Alabama politician.
“Alabama has 3X the homicide rate of California,” Newsom wrote. “Its murder rate is ranked third in the entire country. Stick to football, bro.”
You're viewing a single thread.
The US as a whole is a third world country. Low average income, nearly non-existent health insurance, incredibly bad education (system), high wealth gap, fascism, insanely bad labor laws, the list goes on and on...
Low median* income. The income distribution is skewed since a handful of people have all the money.
Also don’t forget this:
If you're going to be pedantic, please be correct.
Median is a type of average, as are mean and mode.
I’m not being pedantic, you’re just wrong. The average income in the US is deceptively high, whereas the median is quite low. This difference (or skew) is a sign of inequality.
The arithmetic mean, also called the average, or the expected value, is not the same type of calculation as the median.
There are many types of means or averages (harmonic, geometric, etc), but they all require a summation, an integral for continuous random variables and sigma notation for discrete. The median is the middle value. Totally different.
You sound like a llm
If you want me to link you to a dictionary definition that explicitly says what I'm telling you, I will. But I hope you know just repeating yourself is not rather convincing.

If someone checks “US average income” they’ll come away with the impression that Americans are rich.

If someone checks “US median income” they’ll come away with the impression that Americans are poor.
Median is not the same as average. Also, we don’t check math definitions in a dictionary, since we are not in middle school.

You're right 👍
