Simply put, I would not code for other people at the salaries that Romanians accept.

This basically means you would not code for other people only at a pay lower than what a Romanian would accept, as if a Romanian would accept a pay of X, that also means he/she would accept a pay of X+ε, for all wages from X to ∞. This makes you a pretty cheap labour, and if your hate against Romanian people can somehow be turned to motivation, probably a very productive one! If you are formulating hatespeach against Eastern-Europeans, please be precise!

  How did you extrapolate low wages to hatespeech against Eastern-Europeans? This presupposes quite a lot and suggests a lot more about you. I made a pretty specific and narrowly tailored statement. Your postulate primarily neglects reality.

    You implied that Romanians are beneath you.

      Indeed. Also I wanted to point out how ironic that while one implies that others are below him, the very sentence carries the exact opposite meaning of the intended meaning.

      Because there are actually a lot of people in Romania that across Europe to work for a lower salary and be totally content with that while I wouldn't? How free trade drives down labor costs when a government promotes an actual borderless free market? How it is an actually good business plan to go recruiting in Romania and other surrounding countries for both skilled and unskilled labor? I don't know guys, I think you are attempting to censor reality by latching onto something that isn't even considered insensitive. Disrupting free trade agreements like that disrupts cheaper labor. The same concept inflates the salaries within the United States as well with its limited visas and exiting trade agreements. I see "standards of living costs are lower in those countries so it is rational to undercut the local workers" you see "he's saying they're beneath him". Are we really at an impasse? How deep in the gutter are your minds
