How’s it an excuse?
Hey, Afghanis and Sudanese people out there, want to fix your country? Just quit being poor. Pay money that you don’t have. It’s what the two largest, most powerful, wealthiest countries in the world do, so why can’t you? No excuse not to pay them the same as a Silicon Valley startup getting funding that dwarfs your GDP.
Aside from throwing people out on the streets and cutting wages for the middle class in order to support some yuppie JavaScript coders from another country, it’s not economically possible to just poof money into existence to pay ridiculous wages. I mean yeah, America does it and that works for some people here. Most people despise that.
- threatofrain 8y agoWhat people should despise is losing their best and brightest to companies overseas. You're talking about immigration, but that doesn't make a brain drain.
- VRay 8y agoYou're looking at the economy and business in general completely wrong. You have a SERIOUS fundamental misunderstanding of how it works. There isn't a fixed pool of X trillion dollars per year for all companies and government agencies to split up among workers. If a company gives $300k to some guy in Silicon Valley, he'll turn around and give it to other people providing him with goods and services. They in turn spend the money on things they need.
