Sounds like these protestors should never go on vacation anywhere else either. Stay in your home city your entire life.

In my experience, most people who work in tourist destinations can't afford to travel for vacation. Do you think the average Costarricense or Resident of Cancun is taking yearly trips abroad on a wage of under $5/hour?
When I was making about $5/h I was _able to afford_ trips in my home country and sometimes even _abroad_. Can you imagine that?
lol that’s so random. Millions of people living in Rio de Janeiro can afford to travel around the country and internationally. Most of us will still prefer Rio, of course.
What makes you think these folks - ultimately protesting poverty - can afford to visit other places?
