      it is what it is. these guys think they are better than those in Ukraine by virtue of moving out to another country and doing business there even though most Ukrainian entrepreneurs in the field probably end up making more money than them anyway. But then magically - when it comes to do their dream project - some tinder for deep thinkers or whatever the fuck with AI - they turn to their motherland for some cheap labour and act like they’re the master race even though they’re just cheapskate poseurs who are ashamed of their own national identity.
