Where do you live? Because your “poor” country’s minimal daily wage is more than the daily wage of someone on the US federal minimum wage (e.g., $7.25 x 8 hrs = $58)
We are 9th european country by size and GDP, formerly part of Soviet Republics. We have smaller military, smaller economy, smaller population than USA etc. In fact I think our entire economy barely rivals some of the states inside USA. Our older generations (those who lived under communism) see USA as a shiny utopia where nobody is ever poor or unhappy, which caused several our post-soviet generations to emigrate as far west as they could.
