It was nice knowing Raspberry Pi while they lasted. Going to suck losing something that has changed the homegrown embedded system hobby forever.

    Well the U.S. isn’t entirely capitalist either.

    On one extreme you have a completely free market economy. On the other extreme you have an economy that’s completely controlled by the government (such as Communism).

    A pure free market economy doesn’t really exist anywhere among all the countries, what we have instead are a lot of countries that try to find the right balance between letting the market control itself and having the government control the market.

    So call it whatever you want, but the US does have a mixed economy when placed on that scale.

    The US gini coefficient is 39.8 as of 2021. Making it one of the worst countries in the world for income inequality.

    I don’t know how you can say it’s one of the worst when it’s not even in the bottom third in that list of 162 countries.

    According to that source, the worst country is South Africa with a Gini coefficient of 63.0.

    The best country is Norway with a Gini Coefficient of 22.7.

    The US. Ranks 57th with a Gini coefficient of 39.8.

    If anything that places it in the middle rather than “one of the worst”.
