> There are problems with remote work. An employee of a California company is working remotely in, say, Illinois. He sits on his chair in the morning to do his regular work at his desk at home. The chair collapses; he is injured. He files for worker's compensation. His company paid no premiums in Illinois, no coverage. Will California cover an out of state injury? I don't know.
It's almost as if no company ever in existence of the universe has had regional sales employees.

They make the choice to establish such offices, form local companies to do so, qualify to do business in foreign jurisdictions, pay taxes, etc. The point is that it is the company making the business decision to do so, not random employees who decide they'd like to live in Kerala while earning US salaries.
