In India, your servant cleans your house, your servant drives you around, your servant cooks food for you, your servant ties your shoes… community 🥰
I can’t think of one other person who doesn’t appreciate these luxuries! Wait, what do you mean “proles are people”?? 
i dont think life in india is that much cheaper than in the US where $40k has you living like a US multimillionaire… ive heard houses there are still like a $100k+. I guess what I’m saying is these servants are probably more like slaves.
land is more expensive in India because of a much higher population
I’m also pretty sure they only allow a small amount of foreigners to buy land or something like that
Because of that, guys like this are usually super rich, because how the fuck do you make a $40k income in India without owning tons of land?
Tech pays significantly more than $40k in india (at least in cities like Bengaluru) if levels.fyi is anything to go by. 25th percentile of sr software developers is $38k, 90th % is $108k. So seems like a typical mid-career white collar worker could be making in the $40k+ range? These people are probably a very small % of the overall population though.
Sounds like there’s a massive opportunity for western firms to hire Indian work-from-home programmers then, if their national education was improved
their salaries are 20x inflated relative to the average citizen (as opposed to the west where it’s more like 1.5x inflated).
India will probably end up being the China of software (rather than manufacturing)
They already do
not if the average salary is $40,000
most Indian people would jump at the chance to make even $10,000 annually, meaning there’s still a 1.2 billion-man opportunity for firms to take advantage of in the future
