Earning your entire monthly cost of living in a single week, and earning 1/4th of your apartment's monthly rent in a week, isn't uncommon in the US. They get a roommate.
My point is that there are terrible conditions in Mexico, and we should be careful to focus on the ones that are true, lest people start to believe that there isn't really a problem.

- seanmcdirmid 12y agoCost of living is quite uniform in the world. Instead of getting a roommate, they get a crappy small room, maybe running water, maybe not that many rats but probably not.
