>how many people would be willing to take a 25-30% salary reduction to move across the world?

the wild card variable here is the value of dollar. The actions like protectionist tariffs and isolating of the economy with resulting inflation would be significant factors weakening the currency globally and domestically. So, it isn't the situation when there are countries better than US, it is just US is on track to become much worse than it has been so far, and it may fall close to the other developed countries, and in that case other considerations may become important too.

That is a really good point that I didn't consider in my post. I agree with you. If the dollar tanks, it becomes easy to go find a similar salary.
