They can take some other job which will presumably pay more? Nobody's forcing them to work for $25/hour.

Except if we outsource all the jobs...Likewise, no one would be forcing Automattic to list on a first world exchange - there are many other ones where they could be free to float their stock. How come all's fair for labor, but not for capital?

Exactly. In the long game remote = outsourcing = race to the bottom. Marx saw it coming a long time ago.
