Maybe so, but the point is, this whole 'we'll just move abroad and outsource and there will be no consequences' doesn't take into account how the environment has changed. Do tech companies really want to face off against the power of the government? Is that even a fight they could win? The government could sanction them, cut off their access to the US banking system. All sorts of ways to make them hurt.

But it sure will affect the decisions on where companies grow their headcount and where they shrink it or keep the same. Longer term it will affect where companies establish their headquarters too. US used to be the place for entrepreneurs with global ambitions, but if it rejects globalism they will have to look elsewhere
