Counterpoint: Nigeria is in the same time zone as Germany.

And even that isn't important. Its part of the veneer. The outsourcing spree of the late 00's/early 10's created an intense distrust of outsourcing that persists today in the IT industry. That's why he avoids saying India, he wants to have his cake (cheap labor) and eat it too (not resalt old wounds). But when the chips are down, all those benefits of same time zone collaboration and EU partnership will go out the window if they think it's the only way to increase revenue.

Edit: I was slightly mistaken on the dynamic here, but I still think the guy is a ghoul exploiting people for their labor.

I know. That's why I quoted India and not Nigeria.
