    If money was distributed equally among adults in the US, everyone would make around $90k/year income. Not enough to afford a yacht. Not even enough to afford a house in some parts of the country. That’s kind of mind blowing to me.

      If everyone would make $90k then the economy would be completely different.

      I think Lamborghini would be making some budget version of their current supercars, that would never come to exist in a 90k world.

      To just name a random item that popped in my head.

        $600 gallon of milk. It goes on from there.

      However, if that’s to every adult, then couples would be making $180k combined, with which they might be able to save up for a yacht or a house
