As someone that lives outside the imperial core, shit like this always shocks me. That's around 1/4 to 1/3 of what I live off per month lol. Obviously exchange rates and use value are very different, but still.
Yeah it's rough out there. Everyday I'm just glad that I have running water, electricity and food for the most part. And don't forget internet access so I can post on hexbear.net lol
I think Greece is supposed to be part of the imperial core by now but yeah like even here it's pretty wild when I see people throw around there numbers. Although when it comes to restaurants in particular I'm kinda used to it because the country is a big amusement park for tourists so there is many crazy expensive restaurants.
Like I know that Americans don't have public services and higher cost of living etc but tbh it does kinda blow my mind when they talk about 15 dollars minimum wage or receiving thousands of USD in stimulus no strings attached while people here are struggling to find a job that pays 4 EU/hour lol

Same with South Africa. The amount of expensive tourist stuff is absurd. If I speak a bit of Spanish/Italian/almost any foreign language and pretend not to understand English suddenly prices triple lol (obviously not at restaurants those are fixed, but there are plenty of expensive tourist places)
