Europe has gotten very poor fast while America has only gotten richer in the last few years (especially after inflation)

EU GDP per capita for 2026 is projected to be $51,030/year

US GDP per capita for 2026 is projected to be $94,430/year!

US is almost double as rich as Europe now, and that widening gap has been relatively recent (since 2008)

And if you're in Europe you really are starting to feel it now, the services are very poor, but for American prices

Obviously posted about this a lot already from 2023 but every time we travel in Europe, we start seeing it more now in the complete povertiziation of services
