It sucks, but that's the way it works.

- closeparen 10y ago"The way it works" can be altered through legislation, as is happening here.
- Const-me 10y agoIn this century it doesn't work this way. Because now you can develop and even manufacture your product elsewhere. There’re places outside US where you can find top-notch people for less than $100k.
- jlarocco 10y agoNo, it still works this way, but society has put in place rules and regulations defining what is allowable and what isn't. Companies can cut costs by dumping waste in a river and burning garbage, too, but we don't let companies do that any more. If a company wants to operate in a country then they need to obey the laws of that country.

- aianus 10y ago> It sucks, but that's the way it works. But in this case it doesn't suck for the rich management and shareholders (they'll manage just fine without doing the project at all) it mostly just sucks for the taxpayers who get less tax revenue, the community that has one fewer consumer, and the foreigner who has to stay put in his country working at something even less productive making $25k.
