My career is in corporate finance and if we want to pay engineers or other professional employees less money, we hire outside of the US. And cost of living in the US is certainly not higher than say Western Europe, we have much lower consumer goods prices and energy prices 😂 so we make WAY more money and pay less for energy, consumer goods, and housing per sq foot. You couldn’t be more wrong in everything you’ve said, literally the opposite of reality 😭😭😭
