Your comparison does not take into account the relative cost of living of those places.

Furthermore, why do you say "merely" a moral judgement? Is a moral judgement that optimizes for human happiness somehow worse than a logical one that optimizes for efficiency?

I didn't edit it. See this comment from an hour ago which points out someone else ignoring it.

I adjust the numbers for PPP every time I ask this question. And for reasons I don't understand, people repeatedly ignore it.
