Yet, people still vie from all over to work at US companies and we still draw the best talent.

There's also unemployment benefits for US workers.

Haters gonna hate, I guess.

No need to be in US to work for US companies, and still get a nice severance package.

Not everyone is looking forward to US working conditions.

And it leads directly into the US being richer than all but tiny petro-states and growing faster than all of its peers. Fair enough if that's not what you want but there are tradeoffs.

Lets see how much it remains left if US keeps offshoring all the stuff, followed by imposing import bans after those countries become good enough to start taking over economy sectors.

You can certainly work for a US company outside the US, however you will not get a US salary.

It rather work to live than live to work.

if you consider a few hundred a week "benefits", sure.

> people still vie from all over to work at US companies and we still draw the best talent.

yes, because like companies, the USD is coasting off of successes from long ago. We corrupted the tech boom, but fell behind on the FEV boom and manufaacturing in general.

USD is great to earn. It's horrible to live in the USD to utilzie it though. That's why companies are trying yet again to outsource.
