63 USD is a minimal daily wage in my poor country.

Where do you live? Because your “poor” country’s minimal daily wage is more than the daily wage of someone on the US federal minimum wage (e.g., $7.25 x 8 hrs = $58)

Poland.
We are 9th european country by size and GDP, formerly part of Soviet Republics. We have smaller military, smaller economy, smaller population than USA etc. In fact I think our entire economy barely rivals some of the states inside USA. Our older generations (those who lived under communism) see USA as a shiny utopia where nobody is ever poor or unhappy, which caused several our post-soviet generations to emigrate as far west as they could.
