In India, your servant cleans your house, your servant drives you around, your servant cooks food for you, your servant ties your shoes… community 🥰
I can’t think of one other person who doesn’t appreciate these luxuries! Wait, what do you mean “proles are people”?? 
People, like the OP in the twitter post, really don’t understand how exchange rates and super exploitation work, and just think you can compare 40K USD income in the US, to 40K USD in the global south. This goes both ways too, many people from the global south want to immigrate to the west thinking that earning dollars or euros is magical even if it’s some minimum wage job, without considering how much more expensive everything is there.
The OP is in a superposition of acknowledging that $40k in India is equivalent to hundreds of thousands in the US, and pretending that it’s a regular, maybe middle class income
True, though many of them also know that the cost of living is higher but they want to live extra frugally and send back their savings to their families at home where an extra $1k a year would actually be transformative.
