What? Most people live near where they’re born. For people with family, friends, spouses with jobs and children with schools, moving is not a simple matter. Even setting aside social networks, most of us only have one passport and at max a couple languages. Where we live is NOT strictly a consumption issue. I dont think the argument against COLA is as black and white as the author says.
- em-bee 6y agowithin one country, one as large as the USA in particular still has plenty of options to choose where you live. but i agree with your point. when people are moving, for many it's not a consumption choice, but a necessity in order to find work, because there is none where they are. if they can, most people will choose to work from where they are. and in fact remote working does enable more people to do so.
