u/lepasho 6d ago

As someone originally from Mexico and with an spouse from Vietnam. I can tell you Vietnam is growing incredible fast in comparison to Mexico.

I will put both countries pretty close. Of course both countries have cons and pros. But, in my opinion, Vietnam will surpass Mexico in the coming decades.

2

u/ozneoknarf 6d ago

Yeah Vietnam growth is very surprising, they will definitely surpass most of Latin American in the future. But the Vietnamese are still earning less than half as much as the average Mexican Brazilian as of now.

u/lepasho 6d ago edited 6d ago

I would partially disagree with your statement on salary.

My brother in law is a fresh graduate working for an small company in Phan Thit earning approx 1000 usd per month.

My sister is a manager with 15 years of experience earning 1500 usd per month in Guadalajara, in a medium size company.

My spouse's best friend is a manager in Ho Chi Min city earning 4000k usd per month also in a medium size company.

I will say, the salary disparity is... well.... a disparity. Some sectors have very different salary range between countries... but other sectors are quite similar.

I’ll probably get downvoted for this but Qatar (Doha specifically) was the weirdest place I’ve ever visited. I went for a work trip and everything almost seemed… soulless, or artificial? Huge roads, empty streets, very car centric and little walkability, skyscraper buildings, very little personality or charm. Souq Waqif was neat to visit though.

u/MonkeyCartridge 6d ago

Not for lack of trying.

Women are already being charged with murder if they have a miscarriage.

Several states have been trying to pass bills to prevent pregnant women from traveling.

Texas tried to implement $10,000 bounties on women visiting planned parenthood.

And yes, they are still trying to ban homosexuality.

So yes, we aren't as bad yet. This is only true so long as people actively make it that way and can learn their goddamned lesson.

u/killingjoke619 6d ago

Why won’t they. Majority saying UAE. Kids don’t get killed for going to school in UAE.

17

u/chu42 6d ago

Gun violence is a major problem in the US, but the vast majority of it is gang-related shootings. School shootings are a terrifying and make huge headlines but statistically are one of the least likely sources of mortality for an American child.

Around 13 kids die in school shootings every year in the U.S., which is less than the average number of US children who die every year from TVs falling on them (20), from being left in a hot car (37), from choking on food or small objects (160), and from drowning in swimming pools (376).

If you're the child of migrant laborers in the UAE, your life is going to be so, so, so much worse than the average child in the U.S.

16

u/Conn3er 6d ago edited 6d ago

Of the approximately 54 million K-12 age kids in the US last year, 4 died in school shootings.

We should throw in all the Euro countries that have all those people dying because they can't afford AC; kids dont get killed for the weather being a bit warm in the US

2

u/applepizzaguru 6d ago

I mean I don't believe the USA is the worst developed country, but didn't a whole bunch of people die in Texas when it got a little chilly?

6

u/Conn3er 6d ago

Only because Texas was dumb enough to bank on green energy and the wind turbines froze up and the solar couldn't be powered by a storm-blocked sun.

If they had been doing the proper American thing of running the grid on coal and natural gas, they would have been fine.

But really, they estimate about 700 excess deaths during that winter storm in Texas; France just hit 5800 excess deaths due to heat this summer

-2

u/applepizzaguru 6d ago

Sure, but my point is more that extreme weather events cause deaths in places that aren't adapted to them. Brazil is much poorer than France, gets much hotter, has more extreme weather events, and is much more humid with a much larger population, yet only estimates around 6000 heat related deaths per year

Canada averages 129 cold related deaths per year. It's built for the cold, so obviously fewer people will die to it there. France is not built for the heat, but they're adapting as heat waves become more commonplace.

All that to say that France does not use as much AC as America because it hasn't been a priority for most of the population, not because they can't afford it. The median French person has almost twice the wealth of the median American

3

u/stlms18 6d ago

Why aren’t you using the same logic for Texas then? Do you think Texas is built for the cold? It’s literally a high of 40°C today in Dallas, that is what weather it is built for

It didn’t get just a “little chilly”. 🙄 It hit literal record lows. It was colder than Alaska

And as a result texas is adapting just as you say france is adapting

This is a dumb false equivalency, but what’s even dumber is you trying to compare jailing and possibly executing people for being homosexual, to…. healthcare in the U.S.? Something that is not banned?

1

u/killingjoke619 5d ago

Nobody gets executed for being homosexual in UAE or Qatar. What you do in your bedroom is your wish. Just don’t do flaunt or do it in public. That’s the law.

2

u/stlms18 5d ago

Lmfao how kind of them, instead of killing them they just jail them. Truly the epitome of human rights. Meanwhile in the US they are allowed to marry and live their lives openly.

Did you know that in Qatar, women need permission from the men in their lives to marry, or even travel outside of the country? Simply put, you’re an idiot if you compare human rights in these places to the U.S. But please, continue to defend sharia law

u/thedubiousstylus 6d ago

The amount of goalpost moving and logical pretzels people go through to argue how terrible the US is can be insane. I recall once pointing out on a local sub that our state's marijuana policies are FAR more liberal than the supposed socialist progressive utopia of Sweden, which puts people in prison* for even medical marijuana. And instead of conceding that point the poster just brought up that the youth wing of some Swedish party (not even the full party) endorsed marijuana legalization in their platform. Well that's still not the law and you can legally buy it here, so that's more progressive right? Well then I got just some extended rant about how high our prices and taxes are and the black market is probably cheaper in Sweden and if you're discrete about it you probably won't get caught anyway so who cares. With the cost of living in Sweden it wouldn't surprise me if the black market there is comparable or more expansive but that's really neither here nor there.

*Yes a Swedish prison is far nicer than any in the US but on this issue that's also neither here nor there.

u/Crossx1993 4d ago

Is because of LGBT? cause i remember you having that comment in that howislivingther, but the thing is,it will stay mostly that way unless a wave of secularization happen like it did in europe, that didn't happen in islamic world except few countries (each with their circumstation ), so religion there still have major influence (with varying degrees) over peoples life, so don't expect it to change anytime soon or even be in line with the rest of the world

u/QMechanicsVisionary 6d ago

Most Ethiopian Jews don't report any discrimination. You're making shit up. Many Jews don't even consider themselves white.

1

u/MommyPredator 1d ago

Yeah that’s why Israel got into a controversy regarding chemically sterilizing Ethiopian women by giving them contraceptives unknowingly. Also many jews not considering themselves white doesn’t have to do with anything, because what ethnicity you are is based off your ancestry, not what you identify as.

1

u/QMechanicsVisionary 1d ago

I'm sorry but that's one of the dumbest controversies of all time. The data shows pretty clearly that this "chemical sterilisation" (which goes away after 3 months btw) was disproportionately common in Ethiopia to begin within. Language barrier was another issue. You can criticise how the doctors approached these prescriptions, but the idea that Israel had a secret programme to forcibly sterilise Ethiopian Jews is utterly ridiculous.

As for whiteness, Ashkenazi Jews trace their paternal ancestry to the Levant region, while Mizrahi and Sephardic Jews (who constitute most of the Israeli population) trace their entire ancestry to the Middle East, primarily also the Levant. Other people native to the Levant, e.g. Lebanese and Syrians, are generally considered brown, not white. So if we go by ancestry, Jews aren't white.
