"There are No Girls on the Internet" is a tongue-in-cheek adage which implies that there are no female entities actually participating in online activities, especially when it comes to anonymous exchanges in chatrooms and discussion forums. The outdated myth also jests that the Internet is essentially a "sausage fest" dominated and defined by male internet users and a smaller population of male trolls or griefers who pose as women in pursuit of lulz.

If you meet a character named "FabulousHotBabe," she is almost certainly a he in real life."

Low inequality if I remember. *checks* Second lowest GINI by the World Bank's measure.

You might want to check other things though. Income per capita being the most obvious. Income inequality won't be very satisfying if the country itself is poor.

That just tells me that the cost of living is insane in any area of CA where that's true. There's no point of having what seems like a lot of money on paper if it's not actually making you any better off than a poor person would be somewhere else. In fact, it seems incredibly wasteful of one's life to work long hours just to "make ends meet" in CA when the same amount of money would make the person instantly upper-middle if they moved somewhere that charged reasonable amounts of money for housing and necessities.

California is only left wing socially. Economically it's centrist at farthest left, and that's why it's got so many poor people.

Some Google executives move into a neighborhood, the rent goes up and soon the original people there are living in tents.

So here are some details.

Leftist Ideology despite obviously looking out for the common man or aiming for equality in their ideas, have produced MASSIVE income inequality in China, Russia and even the American State of California.

Here's a map showing the fastest growing States when it comes to Income Inequality.

Leftist Democratic California is number 2 in income inequality growth while Rightwing Republican Texas has among the slowest growing income inequality.

which means my state has the 4th lowest income equality growth rate :)

True, and cost of living actually has a number. Well two numbers: CPI for within the US, and PPI internationally.

On a fixed income, you'd be twice as well off (twice the purchasing power) if you went to live in Argentina or the Phillipines.
But if you wanted to live somewhere a bit nicer, like Bermuda or the Cayman Islands, you'd be poorer. About half the purchasing power.
