You should really reconsider. What countries have you been to?

Because in the ones I have, it is impossible to live with a minimum wage. And with impossible, I literally mean impossible to pay for the cheapest rent you can find + food, not even counting transport, clothes, electricity, water. Just rent and food.

There is your key difference. I never said every American has an easy life, some sure have it really hard. But minimum wage is still livable in the USA. You can grow up with big fleeting dreams that will likely not materialise but are still in the realm of hopes, such as to go to university, be a scientist, or an engineer at NASA, or a filmmaker, or a programmer, a lawyer, a doctor. If you do well in high school you can maybe get a partial scholarship to your state school, while taking loans to afford what the scholarship doesn't cover. Your government has enough money to lend you some to allow you study in world class universities (most of them at least top 500). During the summers you can afford to travel back home to see your family because airline tickets are highly dependent on the dollar, so it is not impossibly expensive there. In the summer, you get a retail job, save some money that you can use to buy food during your school year. If you made your due diligence and chose a reasonable major, you will have extremely expensive loans to pay off, but you will have a job.

In many other countries (and I don't even mean the poorest in the world, like in Africa. Your average Latin America will do), your government doesn't have money to give you a loan, it doesn't have money to build a good university, and it doesn't have money to build the infrastructure needed for you to have a job. There is NO dream about being a scientist, or an aerospace engineer, because those jobs literally don't exist unless you emigrate, and everyone knows this enough to the point kids don't really have these ambitions. Do you dream of being a billionaire? Likely not, because you know it is impossible. Hell, in many places it doesn't even have money to provide high school education to everyone. The economy is weak enough that you can't survive on a minimum wage, let alone "save" however small amount. These people aren't thinking about how they will pay their loans, or their mortgage, their car or their kid's college.

I recognize the difficulty some Americans go through, but to say they are in as bad a situation as some other minimum wage workers elsewhere is downright disrespectful. In the USA, you can afford to struggle under the belief a better life may be waiting. This is a privilege many people don't get to have.
