alt text: 18 of our 40 employees are located in the Philippines. Insanely competent, great judgement, and $5 per hour. If you run a small business and don't have overseas help you're at a disadvantage

LOL, I'm the guy you quoted. The arguments in here are straight childish, with a child's view of how money works. They see $5/hr. and scream.

A single person estimated monthly costs are 559.5$ (31,274.4₱) without rent.

Rent in Philippines is, on average, 81.7% lower than in United States.

And I question even those numbers! From what my wife and her friend's American husbands have told me, and from the videos I've watched, it seems even cheaper than that.

Then there are the idiots saying we should flood the country with American dollars, blow up inflation and the wealth gap. Sound economic planning right there.
