I'd like to see a comparison of what you can get with $3000 in Tuvalu vs. what you can get with $30000 in Mississippi.

Prices for most things would be (much, much) more expensive in Tuvalu than Mississippi, pretty much everything has to be imported at very small scale and high cost and if it's remotely affordable it's because of aid from countries like New Zealand and Australia subsidising it.

Then you need to look at the GDP per capita (PPP). The numbers are not that different.
