Say you’re a multinational, with offices in the US, Europe, Asia. You need to hire more people. _Where are you going to do it_? The place where the rules change every ten minutes?

This doesn’t prioritise locals; it will almost certainly cause large companies to concentrate their high-skilled employment elsewhere.

And this is actually a good thing. More diverse workforce, more investment into other countries.
