Regarding remote jobs and geography, there are also nexus laws to consider. Companies are sometimes only set up to have employees in certain states. The larger the company, the more states they will have nexus in. If a company hasn't already set up nexus in a state, and if it's for just one employee, they might not want to set up nexus there, for tax reasons.
I was told this when I was considering moving to another state (in the US), and asked my employer. I was told no based on that they did not have nexus in that state, and it would be a hassle for them to do so. What I learned from that is that remote doesn't necessarily mean work / live anywhere, even if moving within the same country.

It is a true statement that there’s an extant possibility that some businesses are incapable of operating in the state of Colorado for reasons that have nothing to do with artificially depressing wages. My comment about not wanting to work for or with these companies is due to them nakedly advertising that they’re valuing the artificial depression of wages. While it’s a neat thought that there maybe exists a universe where it’s a coincidence that “anywhere in the country but Colorado” became a common phrase in job postings, I’m not really sure why entertaining that fantasy is useful. To clarify, I’m directly addressing clearly worker-hostile behavior that I can see happening plainly, not a theoretical that could be happening at a business inside of a thought experiment. I doubt these businesses will suffer without my being employed with them so I don’t really care.
