I don’t agree with the commenter but I would argue that the wealth disparity in the US means that the top jobs earn more than they would in most of rest of the world
It’s true for the low-end jobs, not just top earners. There are Uber drivers that are making more then they were being a doctor in their birth country.
Look, if the minimum wage is half a dollar, I doubt the doctors are making 100k a year. I don’t consider us a great country, but it’s easier to immigrate here than Luxembourg which is my point. It’s not the best but it’s easily better than half the world, and the best places have stricter requirements that make it impossible for most. Mind you, even immigrating here was hard before trump, just easier than better places.
It just seems hollow to tell people to stay home and find somewhere better, when their choice are between here and Iran for example.
I also don’t think it’s fair, the current state of the world is a direct consequence of the colonial and imperialistic mindset. You still have to be realistic and honest about it.

This link makes the point that minimum wage is low across a lot of the world.
It also seems to show that the US wouldn’t be in the “great” grouping of that list, it would be the next tier down, wouldn’t it?
