but the PROFITS! Those billionaires are more globalized than ever.
American labor gets paid too much for the ownership taste. They want to pay everybody like call center workers in the caribbean or tech workers in india. Or really... they don't want to pay anyone absolutely anything. they'd gladly pay 100% of current wages to have AI do the work, after all, there's no payroll tax, no yearly increases for healthcare, and you get to put the hardware costs on the books as an asset and write off the depreciation each year.
