@Elessar I'm a big guy, and I've been told by others I drink more liquids than anyone they have ever seen, but I'm always bringing drinks with me from home to save money (they're over priced)... and most the places I go for lunch are grab and go, not sit down and relax and get refills type places.

So less than one cup surprises me

@sstronaut Generally I order a bottle of water, so it's 1L / 0.26 gallon. Or a medium beer, which is 0.5L / 0.13 gallon. Either are enough for a meal for me 😅

@Elessar oh okay, we don't generally have the option to buy water that large at most restaurants

@sunsporter1649 Do you think it is right to violently intimidate law abiding citizens who engage in an activity that you happen to disapprove of?

@Munumbis Nothing, so long as your criticisms do not cross the threshold of incitement to racial hatred (the rules for the internet are no different to any other media).

Oh, and we are free to put our hands in publicly owned water features without fear of arrest 💦🇬🇧

@SunshineGirl Such as....

@Convivial I'm willing to buy you a one-way ticket to whatever country you think is better

@SunshineGirl Real capitalism has never been tried.

@Munumbis That's a bummer then!

@SinlessOnslaught We have junkies killing themselves on the streets. Typically in blue cities because they flock there for the hand outs.

@Munumbis People in need die because people like you label them as junkies who kill themselves.

@SinlessOnslaught Junkies die because people like you hand them free needles.

@Khenpal1 not sure what that has anything to do with what I said...

@sstronaut socalist it is 😂

@Khenpal1 if you say so

@Munumbis We agree on something.

@SinlessOnslaught We sure do.

@SinlessOnslaught Don't worry too much, Vladimir here is just sore because Ukraine is kicking his àss and making refueling their cars impossible so they gotta cosplay as Republicans on the internet to sway people in the swing states and hope for some other miracle

@Munumbis And that's one of the lies they talk about. I would refer you to one of these people, but why let your prejudices be ruffled?

@FreddieUK I've seen the videos of people getting arrested for Facebook posts.

@Munumbis Do point me to them, please.

@sunsporter1649
Nationally, you generally need an annual household income between $198,000 and $387,000 to be in the top 10% of earners, which is the standard baseline for being considered "rich." Earning the top 1% income requires more than $731,490 annually, though "wealthy" is often better measured by a net worth of $2 million to $2.3 million.

Geographic Differences

Where you live dramatically shifts these thresholds due to local costs of living. To be in the top 10% (and considered rich), you need a much higher income in some states:District of Columbia: $635,000Massachusetts: $387,000California: $311,000

Lower Cost States (e.g., West Virginia, Mississippi): $198,000 to $201,000Income vs. Net Worth

Financial advisors and economists emphasize that income dictates your cash flow and lifestyle, while net worth (total assets minus debts) is the true measure of accumulated wealth.Affluent/Top 10% Net Worth: Requires a household net worth of roughly $1.8 million nationwide.

Americans' Definition of Wealth: According to surveys, the average American considers a net worth of $2.3 million to be the minimum threshold for being "wealthy".

@JSul3 Pretty much accurate for USA , in Europe you can do it for 100-150 k less most places.

@JSul3 So you better stick the IRS onto this group of folks and force them to pay their fair share

@InterdimensionalSideEye True there are some hard core party comrades happy to starve or even die.

@Munumbis hardcore party members ….who are they?

@InterdimensionalSideEye I'm not sure who they are in Europe, but in the USA they are MAGA members.
