    only people benefiting is the rent seeker.

    I know this isn’t what you meant. But you know de-localizing jobs would probably have the effect of lowering rents.

    only people benefiting is the rent seeker.

    And the people who are now employed, and their local community that they spend that money in.

    Again why is someone in NYC more deserving of it than someone else?

      Naive take… Rent seeker always maximizes profit.

      NYC resident pays taxes and consumes in NYC.

      Why are you advocating of transferring money out of the community? Why would anyone advocate for lower wages in their community?

      This common sense stuff. Your whole weird play on “deserving” is a clown take. Disingenuous at best. This has nothing to do with deserving and everything to do with labor economic and labour policy which should be set for the benefit of tax paying public.

      So again why would NYC or American taxpayer care about an Asian worker competing purely on price? What benefit do they get?

      You know rent seeker don’t give two fucks about her lol

        Yes that is their goal. But they are in competition with eachother, and when there aren’t any people willing to pay absurd prices that have and will come down.

        Okay?

        I am not a nationalist.

        labor economic and labour policy which should be set for the benefit of tax paying public.

        Benefit of locals, while not benefiting others.

        You know rent seeker don’t give two fucks about her lol

        Don’t know, don’t care.

          Is the free market in the room with us right now?

          I am not a nationalist.

          Do you like having paved roads and schools?

            I agree this is not a free market, but there is still competition.

            My community could function on less tax money, less developed countries need it more.

              Must be nice to be part of the right community. The rest of the country has severely delepdated infrastructure and non existanant social services.

              Good for u tho

                That’s because of mismanagement not lack of money

                  That is correct. Too many middle men in government procurement leeching.
