Never looked into the metrics of PPP, but do they exclude private entities with absurd amounts of money?

It's a median, meaning the 50%-th household of all ordered households. So indirectly, yes.

Then the PPP is absolute garbage to compare the purchasing power of the common family.

Care to explain why?

Thing is, there's a HUGE ceiling effect - because there are some people who are richer than motherfuckers while the median would be much lower and the poorest are like 3rd world level poor.

This is irrelevant because it's a median.

Consider 10 people with the following incomes: $1 $1 $1 $3 $5 $5 $5 $6 $8 $1000
Then the median income of this group would still be $5

We just learned Konami finally announced a new Castlevania game, the timeline is healing. Perfect news to learn before work

Kinda complex, but the shortest possible answer is, that billionaires are skewing the statistics by often not paying taxes, but still receiving subsdies. This raises the turnover of money that never "worked". So in average everyone would have more money, that never could even reach the median reference group. As wealthier (= more super rich) are in a country, the more skewed it gets. The proportion would tilt.
As example if you compare Germany to United Kingdom. In the PPP chart it would mean, that Britons are literally poor peasanst compared to Germans. That ain't adding up.
But f you look here:

You will see where the difference comes from. The amount of super rich people.

Again, skew is irrelevant. Please first understand that median does NOT equal average as by my last post.

Also, the UK is rather expensive to live in, so I don't see anything off there.

Theres just no way to catch up on these conversations man 100 pages since my last post is wild stuff.

I see your profile is piper...she is mine. The only character i love from ZZZ. The only character i actively want to see and disappointed when she is not involved or even cameo in a side story/event. I love piper....but ZZZ hasn't release any other character that grabs me so i gave up on that game. But piper will live on in my heart and all engines and scratch cards and other gambling stuff for the rest of time. She puts the in ZZZ. I love her...she is best. I love her voice and her "lil ol me" when she gets nervous/flustered/embarrassed/etc. Piper deserves more and everything else. Long live piper and the mods that truly unlock her potential.

I've seen the memes of one frame man. Also do you mean the Netflix show death note?

Do not worry, I'm putting all my effort into my splatoon thread...but that does not make Piper less then where i put her. Although I have been tempted to post images i have of her. BUT NO! I will resist that. I have much more material and knowledge of splatoon then zzz. Piper and her voice will live rent free in my head and heart.

Yea, I assume the like cooldown goes away at some point. That is rough when I want to like so many things.
