I’ve been saying this for a while, but a decade from now we’re gonna look back with wonder at the fact that workers in the US had more power than a long time in 2021-2022 and they used all of that to make it easy to move their jobs overseas and destroy the advantages they had over their peers from poor countries.

If you insist that remote working is as good as being physically present with your colleagues, then you’re basically telling companies that the reason they were paying higher salaries to their American employees doesn’t actually exist.

Yes. I think this is a good example of how locally greedy behavior can lead to globally sub-optimal outcomes.
