Why is Lithuania so rich? They are significantly more well of than other Baltic and former Soviet parts of Europe

I always thought Estonia was the best of them overall.
Brandon Carter
Literally like 90% of small and sometimes medium sized companies are dodging taxes and pay wages in "envelopes" so in official statistics we consume more than we can officially can afford.
Juan Davis
i'm a low iq retard
can someone explain what does this map actually represent?
Luis Richardson
They always ruled the Slavs around them and are thus richer.
Alexander Green
>Actual individual consumption, abbreviated as AIC, refers to all goods and services actually consumed by households. It encompasses consumer goods and services purchased directly by households, as well as services provided by non-profit institutions and the government for individual consumption (e.g., health and education services). In international comparisons, the term is usually preferred over the narrower concept of household consumption, because the latter is influenced by the extent to which non-profit institutions and general government act as service providers.
Jeremiah Morgan
Yeah. That was what I expected too but sure thing things were different.
Landon Scott
Checks out, OP posted a link to pic related.
Brody Harris
This map was posted just to show of that Sweden is poorer than Finland.

Try again next time
Jackson Rivera
The data isn’t normalized for inflation, purchasing power, prices, etc.
Liam Price
>He fell for the meme
Estonians just have better advertising, that's all.
Benjamin Thomas
If Lithuania is rich, why did they film Chernobyl in Vilnius? And why aren't Vilnisian block renovated?
Brandon Rodriguez
We could literally be western if we weren't so corrupt.
Well, I hope our new president will continue Grybauskaite policy of rooting out corruption
Ayden Russell
Lol, why are Brazilian slums filmed in American ghettoes if they are so rich?
Same answer.
Noah Robinson
>We could literally be western if we weren't so corrupt.
That's most of the third world though.
Christopher Howard
Estonia is richer
Leo Anderson
But we are considered developed world, though.
Unlike Brazil or Russia or Poland, for example.
Cameron Robinson
Estonia is also the most expensive place in Baltics.
Hudson Reyes
bad image
purchasing power parity is bigger in here per capita.
If Lithuanian and Estonian both have 100 euro, but for Lithuanian living cost in 60 euro, while in Estonia it's 80, who's got more purchassing power?
We do.
Adrian Long
>We could literally be western
No you couldn't because you have fucking wooden huts in the middle of your business district.
Lithuania looks like a typical eastern European city no matter how high your GDP or AIC are.

lmao

We talked about this. Go cope more.

Jack Davis
I love Lithuania, it feels like my second homeland but seriously, no one thinks it's developed or first world.
Ian Wood
Better then Poland, though.
Brandon Gray
Not with that grammar it ain't.
Colton Robinson
>United Kingdom
What.
Josiah Bailey
Nah, your statistics and wishes don't matter as much.
Vilnius is the worst developed capital city in the EU (even worse than Minsk). It doesn't even have trams, not to mention the subway. No ring road, no proper highways, city roads are bumpy and full of potholes.
Really, Vilnius looks really underdeveloped even comparing to Poznań (that has similar population).
Gabriel Brooks
Who cares? We talked about it as well.
Not gonna repeat myself.
Logan Young
Vilnius is a relatively small town and it doesn't need a subway. Cardiff, which doesn't have a subway system either is as big as Vilnius
Noah Nelson
Wonder if anything changed in those 10 years.
Jonathan Foster
>8
Ian Torres
>Vilnius mayor
Hudson Lopez
>Vilnius is a relatively small town and it doesn't need a subway.
Ok, but then you should have figured it out at the beginning and proceeded with something different.
Instead you wasted more than a decade on planning the subway and then you eventually decided you wouldn't build it.
It's already 2019, 100k towns in Poland get completely new tram networks built from scratch, while 600k Vilnius doesn't have anything except what the Soviets built there (trolleybus network).
Isaac Allen
They also have (a tower of) a castle that will most likely crumble to shit, since they fucked up the hill and are too stupid to do anything about it.
Wilnonians are probably the epitome of incompetence and unwarranted arrogance, tbqh.
Aiden Bennett

Brayden Campbell
Are you kaunietis?
Cooper Anderson
True. The whole region should be firebombed
Easton James
I can't understand this Dieveniskai bag. Why isn't it part of Belarus?
Chase Robinson
they sell eu citizenship to non-europeans.
Jace Wood
Shit map. It's because most of our companies are based in w*lno
Chase Taylor
Hoarding and wasting EU gibs doesn't mean competence.
Not that it will last long, since they cease next year.
Nicholas Ross
Dunno
Also, we subsidize half of Lithuania, faggot.
Nathan Cruz

Carter Williams
Subsidizing fag crosswalks more like, lmoa

Oliver Garcia
the only first world-looking town in Lithuania is Nida, but it's a kurortnoi garadokas so it doesn't really count
Zachary Ross
I am indeed a trueborn citizen of Kaunas, the Heart and Soul of Lithuania. How did you guess?
Cooper Green
Sudas ne sviestas Kaunas ne miestas
Gavin Martin
We are and always have been a rural people. Cities are for Poles and other degenerate vermin.
Which is why Kaunas is the best. It is the Village of villages. The Swamp of swamps. The very soul of Lithuania is alive here.
Henry Lewis
Dieve, kaip nekenčiu v*lniečių
Alexander Fisher
Seriously I can't see why Vilnius or Kaunas couldn't have trams.
If I get butthurt enough I will draw a proposed plan of the tram network myself and send it to the mayor.
Carter Phillips
He only takes advice from homo anglos, so good luck with that.
David Flores
I will sign it as an American
