> But, as a business person, you should pay the lowest amount you possibly can while maintaining the level of quality you require. People who live in LCOL areas are more likely to accept a lower bid to do the same amount of work, which opens the pool of labor up enormously for a lower price point. Wow, that hurts. You treat all your employees as slaves? What about investing in people to produce better quality and commitment? I always thought that it is better to have one Gilfoyle who can afford a new Lamborghini every month no matter where he lives, than having 50 miserable copies, because someone wants to save a few pennies. And guess what? At the end they cost you more...
