From TFA:

> my salary was around €120 000 per year [...] For The Netherlands this is a good salary, and you'll have a hard time finding companies that offer better and let you work from home full time.

For his country, he was well paid and worked from home 100% as well.

> But if I had instead lived in the Bay Area, I would've earned at least twice that amount, possibly even more. Not because I am somehow able to do my job better in the Bay Area, or because of any other valid reason for that matter, but because I would be living in the Bay Area instead of in The Netherlands.

He says it was "not fair" that he wasn't paid the same salary as people in a different country.

There are no Victim Points to be scored here.

The author has a poor understanding of economics.
