Yes. Products companies produce aren’t cheaper in say India or Mexico then they are in the US.. because they are valued at a certain dollar amount they deem fair.

Why should a human being be any different? A good engineer produces certain value, regardless of where they live

Because it isn't about the value you produce and it never has been. It's about your and your company's positions in the rest of the labour market. The people who are wishing for globally universal remote salaries are joining a sad race to the bottom.

[Leherenn]

The value you produce is just the upper bound of you salary. The salary you need to survive is the lower bound. Then what you get is in-between, based on supply and demand.

Humans aren't products.

Companies price discriminate.
