Damn, and I thought it was fucked that the daily minimum in my country is half the US federal minimum hourly. Let's hop the border, anon.

Meant double the US hourly wage but lol

the average american has so much disposable income its actually insane. the problem isnt the federal minimum wage, its just that american culture glorifies consumerism and instead of saving or investing their money they tend to just burn it with useless consumer goods

oh cool retards here still pull off the "CEOs are proletarian too" and "failing small businesses are proletarian" leftoid logic

impossible for them to believe THE wealthiest country in the whole world is mostly middle class (same with china btw)!! also the fact your individual consumption choices dont change your class position whether you use your considerable reserves to buy property or waste it on a mechanical keyboard collection or whatever the fuck. that shit is marxism 101

Cost of living cancels out the difference.

"Ur poor cuz you buy too much avocado toast" is literally a Peter Thiel invention
You are spouting fox news propaganda that was already tacky 20 years ago
I don't know if it's even necessary for me to say this because I don't know if anyone here will fall for that shit

Leaving the obvious unsaid is how It becomes forgotten and psyops grow into wildfires. This is why it's often worth making a page on one's website for responding to this sorta thing frequently.

Except that the minimum wage and the groceries don't convert 1:1, retard. Not only that, but other commodities such as smartphones (don't you dare say they're a luxury item, motherfucker, every prole needs this shit nowadays), automobiles, computers, anything tech in general is more expensive even in absolute price because of taxes, subsidies, and distribution costs. Proles in the global south absolutely have less purchasing power for all jobs and thats not even a debate

I was gonna add "but I don't know how stupid the average browser here is". The worst thing about "edgier" lefty spaces is certain actors attempting rebrands of reactionary garbage. Maybe it's some pathological trolling that ends up misinforming honest people, or maybe it's imageboarders trying traffic their own retardation
But yes, this place is openly autistic so I have no shame in pissing on a bush fire by taking even supposed "jokes" at face value just in case

Erm, you just contradicted yourself, the first guy is left with 20% of what he had earned and the second with 10%. Learn some basic maths retard.

Fair except the only part of the global south I'm familiar with the cost of living with is china, which absolutely has a lower relative cost of living than the US by a laughably long margin.
>>722652
That was intentional. If I truely made the math error you seem to suggest I made, then surely I'd've only needed add a zero to both numbers. The extra 50 brass coins had a purpose.

You can tell we've been completely overrun by ex-Berniebro Amerifats because of how retarded every single fucking thread ends up being today. It's always either "the proletariat literally doesn't exist in developed nations" or "we are le 99% :)))))))" nonsense, no nuance much less critical analysis, just a complete rejection or plain ignorance of how things end up turning out in reality.

You might actually be illiterate if that's what you get from their posts. If you have enough money to invest but choose not to do so for whatever reason, it doesn't make you any less of a petit-bourgeois, it only means you suck at capitalist competition.

Won't wages vary drastically depending on the region? Someone in São Paulo, Brazil will probably have a higher purchasing power than say someone from Greenville, Mississippi.
