The emphasis on "third-world" discounts how much of work is "translation"

And a great translation is dependant to some degree on a shared

- Language (Clear communication)

- Culture (Shared Ideas, Processes and Cohesive Habits)

- Timezone (Speed of iteration)

So as long as:

- Capital remains concentrated in the USA

- Canada remains relatively wealthy (compared to third world countries)

- South/Central America keeps their wonderful culture and language strong and vibrant.

I do not see US salaries changing in a big way due to outsourcing

(across the board anyway, though AI is a threat to some for sure)
