In cities with a population of less than 100 thousand people and villages only a third of the population of the country lives.
The average salary in the country (white, which is often significantly less than the actual) is about 30 thousand. So what “half” of the population, living on 10,000, are you talking about? Do you want to humiliate the majority so that you do not feel like a loser?

It’s like an anecdote: Look, I eat meat, and you eat cabbage, and on average, you and I eat pigeons.
Average, this, batenka, doesn’t mean that most people live on it.
