I mean you cannot deny that there is zero merit to the rule. A good developer in Bangalore is $35k a year. A good developer in the US will set you back no less

I mean you cannot deny that there is zero merit to the rule. A good developer in Bangalore is $35k a year. A good developer in the US will set you back no less than $120k + 40% for all the benefits and payroll taxes and other associated employment costs. If by "clamp down on wages" you mean control expenses in a general sense, i guess you're correct, but you sure are making it sound sinister.
