    Conveniently ignoring the fact a $3.3k salary isn't livable anywhere in America.

    Spoiled middle class westerners complaining about being poor is totally different LMAO. Americans will complain about being poor when living in a decent house in suburb, being poor is seen totally different in 2nd and 3rd world countries that are, yknow, struggling much moreso.

      Well that's why the American poverty line has been calculated to be 14500

      14500 is the poverty line in America and 845 is the poverty line in China

      PPP isn't a perfect comparison between every single combination of all 200 countries in the entire world

      But the poverty line is specifically calculated for every single country
