The United States is not the fountain of opportunity it once was. Nowadays you're far more likely to find poor in America as in Scandinavia or Western Europe. We "ain't" what we used to be.
Whether that's as big a thing as people think, the European Union includes eastern Europe, too, with countries like Greece, Lithuania, Latvia, and Slovenia, all of which have median household incomes which are around 30-40% of that in the U.S.The United States is not the fountain of opportunity it once was.

True, but then again, places like Lithuania have a much lower cost of living, so that compensates for lower wages. "According to international comparisons, Lithuania is currently ranked 589 out of 780 places, where 1 is the most expensive and 780 is the least." Another statistic from the World Bank is this: "World Bank’s income inequality indicator, the GINI index, suggests that Lithuania has higher income equality than the U.S., and is comparable to that of Canada." Those who are well off in America, therefore, are more well off than the rich in Lithuania. But the poor in the US are worse off, and there are a lot more of them. I chose Lithuania as the example only because my grandparents immigrated to the US from there.
No. Not even close.
Okay, I admit I got off topic and you are right about the diamonds. I have been protesting inequality for quite a while and working with the poor in my country for years, at food banks and elsewhere, and they are far worse off than in any other advanced, industrialized country. And you'll note in my original post, I did mention "Western" Europe as far as diamonds go. Germans, for example, are more able to afford them than the average American, particularly if they are retirees, and I've noticed a lot of retirees on Elvenar. But yes, I strayed off topic. It just sounded to me as if the original post was praising the wealth of Americans in comparison to everyone else, and Americans generally know that to be a myth. There are more homeless in America than in Lithuania by far ... but true, they are not buying diamonds.
Good point. It depends a great deal on where you live just how rich or poor you are. Some registered nurses in California are working full time jobs and living in their cars because they can't afford rent there. In a rural area, those same nurses, if making the same amount (which I grant you they wouldn't be in a rural area) would be able to afford a luxury home as part of the upper middle class. As they always used to say, location, location, location.
I keep hearing hints that the new Phoenix building is the worst ever yet...Then press your people to change it for phoenix because atm quests are the same and reward is far worse
Team on other forums doesn't discuss changes with us since autumn bears.
This was already posted in the Beta thread:I keep hearing hints that the new Phoenix building is the worst ever yet...
Anyone with any rumored info care to spill the beans?! (...in spoiler tags if need be)
At least get our disappointment over and done with, as this way my dad will be able to know if he should race through Constructs in 4/5 cities, or else just say 'feth it' and scrap the lap top for Link's Awakening on the Switch.
Unless something changed, from what players on the Beta forum have said inrefernce to the game files is that its an artifact that is unique to the new phoenix. So I personally do not think that the artifacts offered in this years event will be able to be used on past phoenixes. I would love for this to be wrong though myself as I have a phoenix in one of my cities that hasn't been upgraded fully yet.
That's... wow, beyond utter crap!?
