I dunno about a god.

I compared the most expensive city in Brazil (Rio De Janeiro) with a "affordable" city in US (internet told me it was Green Bay, WI).

And we're looking at a 50% difference. Which isn't much compared to the gap of say southeast Asian countries.

Dunno but 35K is kinda similar to what a non corrupt congressman earns in my country. A little bit more actually.
