minus-squareℍ𝕂-𝟞𝟝@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 days agoThere was a discussion earlier when I looked up figures for this, obviously the data is pre-Trump. People in the US spend so little on food because they spend much more on insurance, rent and vehicle maintenance than Europeans. Disposable income is a similar proportion, with the US average being a bit more on absolute terms, while the EU average being a bit more on PPP. In any case this is an IIRC bit, so I might be wrong.
