When metro areas are ranked by the prevalence of $1 million paychecks, Florida locales climb higher. On that measure, the Cape Coral-Fort Myers-Naples region takes the No. 2 spot after San Francisco, while North Port-Sarasota and Miami come in at 5th and 7th respectively.

More than one in 200 workers in San Francisco earns at least $1 million a year, the highest share in the country by quite a distance, according to a new analysis of ADP payroll data https://t.co/gB6bfLYNez via @wealth

The study found that about one in 127 jobs in the US pays more than $500,000 a year. In San Francisco that ratio is less than one in 50 — which is also the biggest share in the US — with Austin and New York following, according to the research by Issi Romem.

The best solution is probably for both types of societies to coexist, allowing people to choose to live where their life ideals align better.

America and Norway are two fundamentally opposite social systems, yet both are admired by a significant number of people. America is the place to go if you want to make a fortune and create wealth, while Norway is where you might seek a peaceful and tranquil life.

Here’s how insane things have gotten in Norway:

The Socialist Party has a “wall of shame” in their office with “rich people who have left Norway” - due to the outrageous taxes they’re now being charged.

Who do you find on that wall?

Startup founders like @hagaetc - who was forced to leave the country because he was paying ALL of his income (!!) in taxes.

When the Soviet Union is becoming the role model of your country, time to GTFO.

The former has a noticeably larger wealth gap. It's hard to say which kind of society is "wrong". The world's most groundbreaking advancements often happen in the U.S., but the poorest here lack the generous welfare benefits enjoyed by Norwegians.

The problem with progressive government is you eventually run out of other people’s money—even if they’re billionaires. https://t.co/kziOIbGqE8 via @WSJopinion

Our cover this week: The month New York woke up.

In May, the city surged back to life. We documented its reawakening through the eyes of 15 photographers, all of them age 25 or younger. https://t.co/IjnQBuOBEr

Riders had disappeared from New York City's subways and so had most subway performers, deterred by the danger of catching the virus, and the lack of passengers to play for.

On Friday, after more than 14 months, the music was back. https://t.co/Kn0MGIL3bd

A proposal to construct a 20-foot tall, six-mile long seawall in Miami for storm surge protection has forced South Floridians to reckon with the many environmental challenges they face. The problem: None of the possible solutions is cheap, easy or pretty. https://t.co/Qs28YY9MGM
