Thank you for the deep dive.

I'm curious what the effect of a global market and the ability for, say, a software engineer, to work 100% remote have on the "car mechanic" argument. If car mechanics could universally work on my car from anywhere in the world, it seems to me they'd all be charging the same.

So yeah, either they'd all charge whatever the dude in SF is charging, or the dude in SF couldn't compete with the woman in hanoi's rate (she's happy to cut her rate cause her bread is cheaper at the market), and thus moves out of SF.

Which I also think is ok. Perhaps that would result in a lower cost of living for places like SF? Perhaps that would lead to a greater distribution of people across the planet?
