[quote=Anonymous] In Bethesda, I have met neighbors over the years who have had various foreign postings (many with the World Bank, IMF, or foreign embassies). They all seemed to kind of like living in developing countries because, even as middle class people, they could afford a lot of household help. It appears that there are plenty of people in those countries who were willing to work for modest wages as maids or gardeners or babysitters. These neighbors kind of disliked living in the U.S. because they could no longer afford household help on middle-class salaries. Upon reflection, it is a shame that people in these developing countries are so poor that they have to work as maids and gardeners for sub-standard wages. At least in the U.S. we have protections and minimum wages for people. They are not just destined to a life as a servant. [/quote]
