I cant get over the fact that American employees are using a soon to be ending once in a lifetime opportunity where they have significant power over their employers to push for policies that make them easier to be replaced by people who will live much better lives at a quarter of their salaries.
Less money means pressure to lower salaries.
That creates a pressure to hire outside the US, thus remote.
So, given that we understood that remote is possible, the downturn will make remote more likely.
