       | changed in the Bay Area over the past two years, as well as how
       | the perception and the reality of those changes are different.

       | totally fine if you use a German or British company and do
       | everything in Romania (or China).

       | What the fuck.

           | I guess the stereotypes persist and no one bothered checking
           | law enforcement in the country. Which is on par with the rest
           | of EU these days.
