“One might argue that the standard of living is much lower”

well see by standard of living he means housing and food but then thats ok but just realise one thing…the objects of luxury are equally costly everywhere…so in a way if u come to india on the lower salary u get high standard of housing and food but still drive a honda city (outdated in US but big in India) whereas in US u can buy a toyota…in india you’d use a nokia lower end cellphone whereas in US you can buy a high end phone…remember one thing the mercedez still costs 100grand both in US and India…so if u come to india on the lesser salary u will never get that car…basically things like amenities like housing and all will be cheap but luxuries are still the same so obviously the standard is going to be higher in the US.
