and owe to lay down 10,000 Romanian workers to satisfy the yearly profit
projections of some foreign company. And half of those 10,000 Romanians
continue to vote for that native official who promises them that after the

sinful already laid-out East-Europeans and would give them a chance to work
in McDonalds or KFC.
