    Exactly, realising that with the right efforts en less internal protectionism and/or rules, products could be up to 45% and services up to 110% cheaper, is actually quite mind-blowing.

      That’s some Trump maths right there. But if you find a service 110% cheaper let me know, because I’ll buy A LOT from them. 😁

        Idk, that’s what a calculation by IMF quoted for the services. Didn’t dig into that.

        But I do remember from years ago the differences in wages of a doctor in Romania and in Northern Europe. Same still goes for manual labour like plumbing, construction, woodwork.

        This is Reuters quoting that fyi. Arch.

        Edit: damn now I get what you mean. Never thought of it that way LOL. 110 % cheaper meaning you earn 10% haha
