minus-square@Potatos_are_not_friendslink3•8 months agoI dunno about a god. I compared the most expensive city in Brazil (Rio De Janeiro) with a “affordable” city in US (internet told me it was Green Bay, WI). And we’re looking at a 50% difference. Which isn’t much compared to the gap of say southeast Asian countries. https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/compare_cities.jsp?country1=Brazil&city1=Rio+de+Janeiro&country2=United+States&city2=Green+Bay%2C+WI&displayCurrency=USD
