We all come to America because it's a developed country. It was so surprising to me that none of the families have maids to help with housework. In Asia, all middle-class families have full time or live in maids helping with the chores. Why does a rich country like America not offer this?
Because America has a much bigger slice of middle class and upper middle class than Asian countries and this would require a lot more immigration of unskilled labor.
You’re telling me you can’t do your own dishes? You need someone to do it for you?
You can't use dishwasher for everything; it's not recommended to use non-stick pans for dishwashing as it will remove the non-stick layer quickly. Overall it's time taking - you need spend atleast 30-60 min cleaning :(
Dine at restaurants or order in via DoorDash, no dishes required.
You forgot to add "developing countries" in Asia.
Coz high wages. Cant exploit cheap labor. Same reason they dont make phones and shoes here.
No kore labor in factories. All robots.
To compare the US to another rich country for example: in Singapore, all middle class+ people have Filipino/Indonesian/Indian maids. They work insanely long hours (14 hrs/day 7 days/week is common) for basically no money. Usually they live in shared accommodation (lots of bunk beds in a room). They're a level of exploited labor that you don't really have access to in the US. People wouldn't even scrape by on such a low amount of money and it would require insane levels of immigration which is not allowed and heavily enforced.
Maids exist in US. You have to pay for them. Poor countries are poor because they have poor people (aka cheap maids). You need to apply your brain a little bit
Because slavery was outlawed in 1865.
Was gonna say this
Reminds me of this article from a few years back, about a family in the U.S. who had a filipino slave up until she died in 2017: https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2017/06/lolas-story/524490/ Note: this is highly unusual and illegal in the U.S.
This is a temporary benefit in Asia (China at least) because of excess population. We will be the last generation that enjoys cheap maids
There are maids. But you are too poor to afford them.
Live in maids and butlers are not cheap here. They in asia are exploited, cheap and practically free comparatively. Do you remember American history here, that would be a bad idea to repeat.
You clearly have no idea what's going on in the world
