Turns out competing with the whole world and not who is ready to relocate to an extremely expensive area of the world brings downsides, who knew.

Time to realize that this 'work from home' push will lead to more globalization, and more loss of wealth / quality of life for the people of the West.

I think we'll see more globalization, but I think people overstate the level of the transition:

1) Done well, remote work is at least as effective as office-based. However, my experience is that most companies aren't doing remote work remotely well, even 15 months in.

2) Globalization has to do with more than just being remote. An issue we still haven't solved are time zones.

I think the first move we'll see is from San Fran, Mountain View, etc. to cheaper parts of the US, closer to food production, and with more available land.
