      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.

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