viewKind of pathetic that someone with a 400K salary (I know he makes more) still has to act fake surprise that someone from a totally different culture and condition earns less than them. It's a fact. Maybe not a pleasant fact to some people. But it's not a surprise for anyone of average IQ.

Even if European companies do everything right. Fully compliant. Maximum productivity. Maximum satisfaction from people who use their products. If their clients/customers are all local, how are they gonna get US salaries? Genius.

I often see this level of hatred toward their origin from war refugees, less likely from someone who just moves abroad for work. If you already know the system is hard for entrepreneurs and builders, why is your conclusion that a whole population is lazy?

viewOnce you were on the payroll of a state-run organisation, you were guaranteed to get regular paychecks for life. So people would spend a lot of money to be in those positions. (Hence, my parents warned that they didn’t have money for bribery, as I told you before.) They were in no rush for competence, productivity or innovation. Just kind of existed. Since there was no surplus productivity, therefore no upward mobility either, people would just fill their days with a lot of drama instead.

viewJust really hate people who see money not as a personal consumption lifestyle but as a status marker. Many people can’t even tell the difference.
