    and?

    where is the difference between earning $300 and needing $285 to stay alive, and earning $2000 and needing $1900 to stay alive?

    So, 300-285 =15

    2000-1900 = 100

    Δ = 85

    So 85% difference... altough I get you don't meant that, but still, people from those places don't realize the huge amount of stuff they get from granted, I'm a socialist anyways, but you need to be educated on where you stand on the world, I'm neither saying I'm personally dying of hunger or whatever, but the reality of the average person in a rich country, is heaps higher than whatever, is annoying for me to no end to see people complaining about having so much in reality, clean running water, sewage, a police than when you call it, it shows up, chances at an education, etc... people literally die of diharrea because unsanitary conditions, you should cherish being born in one of those countries, and still strive for the better, but do not forget how far you have come, eaning 2k/month for working 40h/week is such a sweet deal for the majority of people on earth, don't act like it isn't, because, in part, the only reason those countries can have so much wealth, is because for all that other people life isn't as nice, in a way, those rich countries have outsourced crappy jobs elsewhere, and that's not necessarily bad, those countries, my country, deserve to develop, but you at least must be aware of all of it.

    Sorry for the word salad, it just annoys me to no end how all these first worlders don't realize how good they have it in life.

            Yeah we don’t tolerate this servile shit in my country. Your defensive deflection is surely the way to get the job done, though. 👍

              if 2000 stretches as far in one place as 300 does in another, then 100 in the first place stretches as far as 15 does in the second. it's 5% either way.

              and this comparison only makes sense if the jobs are equal, so while your paragraph is accurate it's not really in scope.

                  I’m sorry I hurt your feelings. I guess you can rename French fries or whatever you guys do when everyone notices your professed principles are bullshit and you’re feeling insecure.

                      I receive majority of your day

                      You receive a minute fraction of my profits (which by the way does not increase even if the profits sky rocket)

                            It doesn’t make sense for life to be unaffordable.

                              it's still only keeping 5% of your pay, still a minor emergancy away from having to ration food or skip meals. poverty is just as depressing everywhere, sure some could have it worse, but you telling them how great their situation is actually isn't going to help. so let's stop trying to hold misery olympics
