If your statement is accurate, why offshore the work?

He came recommended by someone who had used him before. His country of residence was not relevant to our hiring decision.

I wish I could upvote this thread 100x. Everyone should have to deal with global competition and everyone competitive should have commiserate compensation. Unfortunately there are barriers to that (informational and transactional).

I also think everyone uncompetitive should get basic income.

I've been hearing a lot about basic income lately. What I wonder is: how much should a person receive?

e.g. if a competent, competitive person receives X per year, should basic income be 0.1X, 0.25X, 0.90X, etc?

Also, would competent people working remotely from a different country be taxed to contribute to the basic income fund?
