@wesdym@mastodon.social It really doesn’t matter where it is true. The statistics on wealth and poverty reflect policy decisions. Both are shameful for any state. We should expect better for our fellow citizens, should we not?

@Tattered@social.vivaldi.net I think you might be missing my point. Three EU states are former Soviet states. Six more were part of the Warsaw Pact -- Second World countries with more restrictive govts and economics. These states have had a great deal of catching up to do, in only a few decades. I don't think it's fair to judge them against US states, which don't have the same excuse. Truth DOES matter.
