      No less than The Economist uses the BMI (“Big Mac Index”) to compare economies.

      I like how this has “Murrkans dumb” vibes, but this picture is intellectually far better than what average Russian thinks about economy.

      That said, 6+ bigmacs for an hour of minimum wage sounds very good. Actually it sounds like some heaven on earth.

        ‘Heaven is a place in Earth’ was, in fact, released in 1987 by Belinda Carlisle.

        Fueled by cheap Big Mac’s, no doubt, though the song neglects to mention them.
