Why should I feel bad for Jose that lives in a country where rent is 1/15th of that in the US, he can walk to the store or take a bus for 25 cents, and gets to live in a perpetually warm paradise with tropical fruit and skinny, hot, romantic women?

I'm sure your life sucks Jose. Let's trade my life in my grey wasteland surrounded by fat people and Dollar Generals that are the only stores that are 10 miles away and where rent is $1500/month for a studio. Yes Jose, your life is very bad with those hot latinas and fresh tropical fruit. Where you can just do online work in USD and do 10 hours of work a week to live the life of the top 10% in the US. Yes, Jose, life is so much better here in the US with it's health insurance monthly premiums that are more than your country's average wage.

The middle class and wealthy Mexicans never moved to the USA. It was entirely the 60IQ Aztec low class.

That's like posting a pic of Mackinac island and going "OMG average american street!"

I was in another Latin American country for a month, living like a local, and I can say that living in the US is a scam. The average guy my age (20) in the US is basically doomed to poverty, pain, and being alone while the average guy my age in Latin America is going to parties and impregnating hot latinas.

>>514009341
I didn't go to the tourist section either. Just normal working class area I lived.

>>514009341
I've lived all over latin america and when you say "Living like a local" you're talking about a certain kind of local, not the locals who don't have access to water or even electricity and basic needs, which yes still exists in Mexico.

Obviously with a US salary living like a local is easy and fun and totally worth it which is why I spend so much time digital nomading. But that being said I understand not everybody has it close to that easy.

>>514009479
Rent where I was at is like $130 per month. The minimum wage is like $285. The median salary there is $500 per month. They aren't paying health insurance premiums or car insurance or gas or heating. Also, many make rent/pay bills by just selling Crocs on the street. Tell me where in the US I could possibly do that??

I figured it out that fresh produce there was actually cheaper, even in local relative income, than in the US.

>>514009042
lmao no it's not

>>514009731
>Tell me where in the US I could possibly do that
I live in lat am usually 6 months out of the year I don't disagree that it's great with an american salary. But the movement of people doesn't lie. Mexicans come to the US for a reason and I'm all for it. I have no hatred towards them and wish we would just open borders since I use their borders so often it's only fair.

>>514009981
You don't use their schools for free, and since you move around and rent you don't pay property taxes for our schools either.

If we could make you pay their auxiliary costs, OK, but since you leave them to the rest of us, fuck off with your open borders nonsense. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

>>514009731
Like my girlfriend (the one that I lived with). She has told me all of the time how the average guy our age there just drinks, parties, goes out on the street. She told me most don't have jobs and still they have girlfriends. Nothing is expected of men there unlike here in the US.

They have all of the utilities that I have here in the US, except hot water. I even drink the tap water there raw and was fine!

>>514010189
Oh so you're just talking about the ease of getting pussy? Rather than having a good financially comfortable life? kek

And that's the case here. I can go to some ghetto and fuck somebody easy as a lowlife. But try to do that to an upscale girl in Buenos Aires or Sao Paulo or CDMX or something. C

>>514009981
>I don't disagree that it's great with an american salary

Did you just gloss over what I just said? Where in the US could I live off of selling shoes on the street? Literally, I figured it out that it is much much easier for my girlfriend to move out of her house than it is for me.

>>514010326
>live of selling shoes in the street
yeah if you want to live in a dingy 1 room shack with 5 kids

Again... why do so many Mexicans come here if it's shit? Wouldn't they all go back when they realize how good they had it?

>>514010279
You don't need much money there. Food is cheaper, heat in winter is hardly needed. It's the latitudes where people live much easier.

I don't know why I am still here. Actually I do, but I want to move there and retire easy.

>>514009731
You are right in LATAM government won't helicopter-parent you, on the other hand there is a lot of Law of the Jungle, if you are smart and strong you, as an individual, will go far, the issue is when you belong to the demographics which are none of that, western states justify their existence by protecting those who aren't as strong or smart as you.
And there goes the paradox, because you always need other individuals (not institutions) in LATAM you will be psychologically more resilient, which explains why suicide stats are lower while homicide is higher, you will be too busy fighting to survive to go degenerate and kill yourself.

>>514010412
So all you need is a dingy 1 room shack and you can have 5 kids.

Life is so much easier!

Nobody really wants you to feel bad. The issue leftists have is that if a French guy moved to Germany, nobody would bat an eye. You don't have to like us though.

>>514010450
I've always done well in contests of wits. Why don't I move there and withdraw my support of the welfare state here?

>>514010412
To make as much money as possible so they can have an american expat life. Their laboral opportunities are shit, so, why not at least get paid well (by latam standards) if you don't have any other way out?

>>514010279
>Rather than having a good financially comfortable life?

Nigger, I like beans and rice and chicken. I hate steak. I like fresh produce. If I had been born in my girlfriend's neighborhood, I would have basically already won in life. I could basically get any job and still succeed (in my opinion). Latin America isn't bad, not even in local salary.

American cities with nice, warm weather and walkability have the highest costs of living and rent yet there in her country, nice weather and being able to walk everywhere is the default.

>skinny, hot
I've got news for you bud

>>514010572
Again it depends - are you selling shoes on the side of the road or trying to wash windshields on random cars? Then yes it sucks ass hence why so many people leave.

But I'm not saying you can't have a good life there and even make a very good salary. But on average life is much harder hence why rich Americans go to Latam to be digital nomads but you never see middle class/poor americans going down there to work for typical salaries.

>>514008840 (OP)

Fuck off we are full, leave me alone with my hot pussy latinas

>>514010504
Basically from my 5 years interacting with Latin Americans online and in person with my girlfriend, most of them have normal lives to even American standards. Going to the US is basically like a cheat in a video game though where they will live like roaches in the US and do a job to then send all of the money back to get ahead in Latin America (building houses, buying restaurants, etc.)

>>514010652
>I've got news for you bud

It's true. The average American woman is fat, and not in the natural way that older latinas often are. The only non-fat American women are the rich ones that demand men with $100K salaries.

>>514010846
So if Trump reduces this game, it will crash their economies even more. But an economy based on human trafficking shouldn't be seen as a long term solution.

>>514011086
> it will crash their economies even more

The US needs Latin America and its natural resources more than the other way around. The US produces nothing anymore, really.

If you study and do well in the public university exams in my girlfriend's country, you are set for life as it's basically free and professionals are paid really well, especially in mining.

If you study and do well on the SATs in the US and go to college to be an engineer, you will still have to fork over thousands of dollars and still may not even make enough to live alone even, as an engineer.
