  I think what is talked about is coutries like Poland where the currency is weaker than the $ but they still cave to pay more.
  Having to pay less when earning less is good but paying more while earning less is bad.
  And the problem with at least poland exists now for a few years

    Steam pushing Poland towards the eurozone, wasn’t expecting that one tbh

      we still wouldn’t get paid more if we converted to Euros, we’d just be paid in smaller looking numbers
