There is not a direct translation that I know of, but I'll try to clarify what he means: We are not analphabet sheep herders isolated in the mountains (no pejorative intention here), we are educated people, even with university degrees, but mostly underpaid, unemployed, having to pay ridiculously high taxes but receiving ridicuously bad services from an incredibly bloated and inefficient state.
A few days ago I've seen on the TV a field full of tents somewhere in USA, where people suffering from the current crisis had to go to live when they lost their house. That's close to what we mean.

From a developing country here (southern south america) and I fully agree with you, the problem is in the business model.
See, I have now some money to spend, in local currency, that translates to around 3000 US dollars. I was trying to pay a 90 U$D service, and the only available payment method is with International Credit Card.
But, the basic cost of having such CC is ridiculously high compared to the amount of money I could spend in a year buying internet items and services.
So, what about easier payment methods available, perhaps even in the local currencies, tailored to the local markets you are trying to enter ??

I've just finished this book, it deals with the (supposedly very ancient) origin of the two systems, and both are geodesic, that is to say, both are derived from the measure of the polar circumference of the planet.

Earth... is that some new state we annexed?
Sir, given the current state of international politics, you truly honour your nickname, don't you ?
