Anyone paying $5m for a gold card will have a higher standard of living in the US than Thailand or Vietnam. Even if you make just a bit above the US average salary your life will be better in the US than Thailand at least. In Thailand from my experience living there it is great if you're broke/low income but actual luxuries are a premium to western countries.
Why would you expect someone to be spending all their money on this? It's clearly for wealthy people. I'm Canadian/Australian so you can probably guess my opinions on Trump and the current US government but I don't have any problem with this type of program and most countries already have a similar one just at a lower price point(I think Canadas in like $2m in venture investing instead of a straight payment to the government but same difference).

- sanswork 2y agoI have a feeling the QoL for the wealthy in America will stay pretty similar to today even if it drops off a cliff for everyone else
- lukas099 2y agoTo me, the real luxury is labor, and I bet servants would be cheaper in Thailand than the US.
- sanswork 2y agoIf you're spending $5m on a visa you'll be able to afford similar services on both sides. A regular gardener, a regular cleaner and a laundry service are all affordable by the upper middle class in America let alone the rich. If you want full time live in servants that would obviously be different but the quality of life difference isn't going to be huge until you have a professionally trained and managed staff.
- lukas099 2y agoI mean, yeah, full-time live-in servants would be fantastic.
