> businesses of fewer than than 250 employees AND less than $10 million in revenue
Seems like they can afford it.
Seems like they can afford it.
This is a low bar for ethical business practices.
If lure people to my ecosystem with low prices and then jack them up later when the switching costs are high, it's fine if they can afford it?
If the electric company jacked their rates by 10X for consumers who make over 100K a year would that be fine since "they can afford it"?
If grocery store A started charging $30 for walking into the store, you better bet everyone’s gonna head to grocery store B.

what is this, the world's most overstaffed lemonade stand?
250 employees earning the median US wage is 11 million per year to the employee before all sorts of overhead so more like 20 million in wages per year.
AR == Argentinian Peso
542k ARS == $1600 USD
So I guess I’ll ask some questions:
1) Is the Argentinian software labor pool large and organized enough to be accessible to international firms?
2) Is this the average wage of a software developer in Argentina? Or some larger group?
3) Why is this relevant in this discussion?
There is a point that offshore contractors getting access to such software represents a ... larger proportion of compensation, especially among the several such SaaS per-user fees most tech companies will pay.
But there's also a counterpoint... docker wants somewhere between $5 and $30 US dollars per month per user, yes this is annoying because the value doesn't seem to be there for docker desktop which is all most people want anyway... on the other hand it's not such a moral issue... it's not much money at all.
Nope, ISO 4217 says it's ARS.
AR is the ISO 3166 contry code for Argentina.
