Frankie Boyle’s joke is outdated;
America will go to your country and kill all your people, come back 20 years later and make a movie about how killing your people made their soldiers feel sad. And in another 20 they’ll come to your country asking for treatment for the PTSD that killing all your people gave them.

My cousin is a teacher in Vietnam and she has a personal chef lol. Not like 24/7, just somebody who comes in a couple times a week and meal preps her for the next few days, but still. She’s living good over there.
The term “personal chef” gets thrown around as bourgeois decadency, but I can walk into any mini-mall in the country and requisition a “personal chef” to make me a hamburger for a few bucks and have it handed to me in under ten minutes.
Its frustrating to deal with the idea of hired help from the perspective of this weird “You should do your own chores!” nanny-mentality rather than a “Just pay them the value of their labor and its fine” Marxist view.
That’s a good way to look at it. The way my cousin explained it was this woman cooks for a handful of American expats over there, so I guess “personal” isn’t exactly accurate, but you get the idea. No idea what she’s being paid compared to cost of living and whatnot though. My cousin is fairly left leaning so I would like to think she’s paying fairly.
