Ie, insteadof &amp;lt;Do you have work authorization?&amp;gt; as the first question  [no less], it need be enforceably ILLEGAL to try fish info on it.&lt;p&gt;In practice that can&amp;#x27;t be fully done without also blinding a lot of other things. but having Single Market enforced by law  certainly will reduce the  paygap found today in equal lvl-to-lvl comparisons (top x% vs top x%; differing only in cardholding).&lt;p&gt;re &amp;quot;&lt;i&gt;vent&lt;/i&gt;&amp;quot; &amp;quot;&lt;i&gt;disrespectful&lt;/i&gt;&amp;quot;; I contend that those folks actually trying to be assholes are Americans. It&amp;#x27;s likely the comparison you saw was just done in a neutral and nonhurtful manner&amp;#x2F;intention, albeit not of PC enculture.</text></comment>
