So everyone gets to look forward to average yearly pay of $1480 or equivalent while the world equalizes... granted it&#x27;ll go up a bit while the US one goes down ... let&#x27;s be kind and say it&#x27;ll be $2000 (ie. about 3000% inflation in the US discounting payrises).<p>And these are PPP dollars<i>. So while they&#x27;ll probably buy more in terms of food, house prices, ipad prices, ... will stay the same (granted, some bubbles will probably get popped, but a house costing $200-300k should not change).<p>Decent clothing ? T-shirts and jeans, and washing them once a month, tops, perhaps.<p>I for one strongly doubt that the middle class will accept this. War, civil war or the other kind, seems far more likely.<p>Source: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;List_of_countries_by_average_wage" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;List_of_countries_by_average_w...</a><p></i> PPP dollars : one takes the income of someone, follows them as they buy food, housing, .... Then you look up the prices of the same items in the US and that&#x27;s the resulting figure.
