Another flaw in the whole calculation is the money conversion thing.

Cthulhudreams compares the income of an average US household to the price of a middle lifestyle for a family of four. In Germany we have a saying: "Birnen und Äpfel vergleichen". Comparing pears and apples. Those two values aren't comparable at all. There are far too many assumptions in this.

1) The number of people in an average US household. Is it really four?
2) The assumption, that the average US household can afford the equivalent of a middle Shadowrun lifestyle. The average Shadowrun Seattle household with four children can't, according to New Seattle.

On Orks taken form wikipedia
QUOTE
They grow much faster than humans, reach maturity at the age of 12, and give birth to a litter of about four children, though six to eight are not uncommon. Their average life-expectancy is about 35 to 40 years. They are physically larger and stronger than humans. Their mental capacities are considered slightly inferior on average to humans, though they are still not as dull as the average troll.


I read this in a book but i cant seem to find the quote. Is this any help?
