What a wild world... Lived in the US my whole life... Figured I could do better else where so I left.

Now for internet I pay $22 a month and get symmetrical 700mbps...

8$ / month in Romania for 2Gb/s. Also, you can download ANYTHING here.

Yeah but minimum wage is 80$ / month and you have to choose between betting shop and internet every month. Like some kind of real life adaptation of "Papers, please"

Minimum wage is 630$ / month after taxes. Are you an American?

I was looking at prices today, turns out I can get a symmetric and uncapped plan in Brazil that costs 1/5th of what I pay in the US. It's a fucking cartel.
