chrisp65 Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 I’m waiting on 25% off a skateboard (yeah, I’m that guy) and I just know it will be Friday and I’ll have to get in to town with all the shop zombies. Really don’t want to be part of it, but also don’t see the point of spending £120 today when it’s £90 in a day or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get annoyed when people say "The referee is biased"? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A'Villan Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 (edited) Median income for non-hispanic whites in the U.S is $170,000 per annum Median income for African American blacks in the U.S is $17,000 per annum. 18.6 million people living on less than $1.90 per day in the Middle East and North Africa. That's the equivalent of 75% of Australia's population, living on $1.90 per day. That's pretty extreme. I wonder if Australia would ever become the land of extremists? Halliburton represent!

Outsmarted myself, as I had started out to type “bias is not a verb”, and changed it up without changing the form of “bias”. Anyway, tense don’t enter into it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the mean and mode income? I'm pretty sure white isn't the highest paid demographic in the US, I believe Indians and East Asians earn more on average? Actually, the mean will be skewed by the billionaires, not the median, but even so I find the figure hard to believe. Although I don’t recall seeing a figure specificallly for whites, I seem to remember consistently running across a figure in the range of $60-70,000 as an overall average household income, but perhaps I’m remembering median. I can tell you that $170,000 is a very high salary for anyone other than an executive in most of the country. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
