I have to agree with you there. I'm in Europe and I just polled a whole bunch of friends, anyone using these companies and got a resounding NOPE. I just polled a bunch of US friends too and they say the same. Sure, purely anecdotal. B

I'm sorry. I'm not PC, I'm not Millennial, I'm Gen-X. I was brought up to think about the concept: the best person for the job. The BEST. If I were to hire someone now, I couldn't care less where they were born,
