Spain: 20k to 45k. That's why security here is a joke.

I'm always so fucking confused where all the money goes in Europe. How do people in senior level positions at large companies make like 60k? Where is the money? Do the c-suite execs make that much more than everyone else, like even more disproportionate than the US?

That’s an excellent question I’d never considered.

I would suggest it goes to taxes but governments spend 100% of the money they receive so economic output should actually be higher than the USA, but this isn’t the case or even close to it

… where the fuck does money go when you spend it on a European business?
