Honestly this seems like hell.

I'd rather work remotely for a US company and move my ass somwhere like Brazil or Nigeria or Philippines or Thailand.

You'd maybe feel the boredom and the lack of power in the decision making and the shame of having to report and reply "yessir" .

But once you clock out you can then be the boss of the hood and recoup all frustration accumulated during worktime, throw the weight of the mighty USD around, which is even more exacerbated by the tech salary as well as the possibility to invest every excess in the S&P500 so that you can keep on keeping on.

The west has essentially very few people (and diminishing by the day) and each and everyone of them have a telegraph pole up their you know what. It should only be used as the money making app

The so-called West is slowly starting to de-populate. I believe the parent is suggesting the hyper connectedness + affluence of the West should be taken advantage of to make money, while / for however long it exists in the present lucrative condition.

Just like you have the dating app or the mail app on your phone.

The west is the money making and business app. Strictly business, don't even call or seek people for reasons which aren't business or money making.

Social relationships and genral life outside work app is Africa and South East Asia. Unlike the west they have loads and loads of people who are not spoiled by abundance vis-a-vis the west which has very few people and all with a telegraph pole up their as*hole.
