    Me, an intellectual, who makes less than the American minimum wage because I live in a third world country: You guys can’t make ends meet with your inflated s Dollar salaries? 🧐

      I’m not sure if you’re aware of this, but the more money people make in a country the more expensive things are. So that inflated salary you are talking about also comes with inflated costs of housing and food and clothes etc.

        Well, I am glad to know that the salary of a congressman in my country would mean poverty and awful living conditions in the US but that we are safe from that because everything is cheaper where I live. Damn

      Americans make more in wages, but goods and services are generally more expensive as well. Many people work multiple jobs, but can barely afford their means, and/or are trapped in a cycle of debt. Idk your situation, or that of your country, so I won’t say we’re in as bad a situation as you. Poor Americans might be in a more preferable position overall.
