I wonder how the contractors are faring economically given their contracts are presumably worth a lot less than they were...<BR/><BR/>This is how it is with a common market. Sooner or later Europeans are going to decide not to bother coming to get jobs here - then we'll all be totally screwed and most of our low quality jobs will suddenly not happen.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02102663397567562979noreply@blogger.com
