I moved to the US a few weeks ago after living in a few European countries, and I'm still shocked by seeing abject poverty right next to mindboggling wealth in a developed country. I see multimillion dollar houses literally two streets away from homeless tent camps. Even with a fat +200k big tech salary I feel less middle class that I did in Europe. Makes me wonder how less privilege people manage.
