You may benefit from a non-socialist economy. I pay my best engineer 60k€, so 39.9 after tax, total cost 90k€ for me, and he couldn’t find an MD (the dedicated family doctor - so he has to pay any doctor with a 15€ surplus).

In exchange, we go to the Theater (classic, not movies) for 30€ and we don’t have Copilot on our computer. We don’t have the translation on Airpods, and we have to click all cookie banners.

If I had a visa for the USA, I’d be there.

That's the fee charged for giving you aspirin in a US hospital. I can't imagine why you think his US medical access would be better.

Now do broadway in New York. Hell, do off-broadway in new york and it's either barely the same price or even more expensive. Are you sarcastically making the opposite point, I can't tell.

Which is less than the co-pay you pay on good US insurance.

Why don't you pay them more?

		Is that not relative? You could also ask Meta why they don't pay all the top engineers 100 times more. And the reason in both cases would be the same, it's not sustainable for the business. I often find Americans on here judging salaries from the point of view of an American economy which to me makes no sense. You can't expect an economy 100 times smaller than yours to pay its workers the same salary that you pay yours.
