We'll just open offices in Israel, Eastern Europe, and India instead and pay 70% of a US salary. It already started happening in 2019, and avalanched during the pandemic.

The obvious response to that is to not allow companies that outsource jobs to sell in the domestic market.

And then those companies sell in other countries.

When the US banned Israeli companies from selling military IP to China, they began selling to India.
