I'm talking about measuring just inequality you retard. Germany is more unequal than Hungary, yet their standard of living is higher. That's because income inequality plays an extremely small role in the overall quality of life. Ethiopia is more equal than Denmark. That's why adjusting quality of life studies to account for it is stupid.

We were actually talking about the HDI:
The Human Development Index (HDI) is a composite statistic of life expectancy, education, and income indices used to rank countries into four tiers of human development
where the one who can not even read his own stats pointed out how the USA is #5 in the world, and I just pointed out that the very first paragraph of his stats says:
"the HDI can be viewed as an index of
?potential? human development (or the maximum IHDI that could be achieved
if there were no inequality
we were actually talking about how "developed" each country is, and if you stick your head in the sand and pretend inquality does not matter then fine
crime does not matter either, neither does the 14 trillion dollar debt or anything else that is detrimental to your argument LOL
the UN seems to think that inequality does matter and they even adjusted the Human Development Index to account for it, but if you say "sheeeeeeeeeeeeeet it don't matter" then it obviously does not
so to resume, inequality matters for shit, every american lives like bill gates and donald trump, everything is going baller, the 14 trillion debt is just a sign of how baller everything really is
