By certain economic measures that’s true. But I wonder about relative status as compared to one’s culture. That’s more to the point if considering life satisfaction, I suppose.
I always look sideways at notions that certain countries have people who live on 5 cents a day etc. it’s a near meaningless comparison.

They shouldn't have sold.
