Do what I do (assuming you already have a job and get random recruiter calls). Tell them a rate higher than you're currently getting, and that's your remote rate. Your on-site rate is $100k/year more. That will put an end to things if everyone does it.

And the studies are from companies who sell work from home products.....I don't waste my time finding or reading studies from companies who put out a study saying their products are great!

I don't need to find a study from tide about how their pods are WAY better then others to say their claim is BS because study itself is made to make them win!

> Sounds like a streamlined approval process is what's desperately needed

That's ... precisely what the article advocates for. And also for streamlined immigration of absolutely required skilled talent, because US education system isn't producing nearly enough

"Streamlined approvals" ( aka less regulation ) is also desperately needed for things like building out infrastructure

I just replied to them,I wanted to give them the best chance they could and sit down and read the studies which is why I didn't respond, and the studies I can't find easily and all of the links are to companies who sell products for remote work and I shouldn't have to explain why those studies shouldn't be trusted.

If those companies found the opposite they wouldn't say and it's not hard to create a misleading study especially when they don't make them easily accessible.

>Significant policy changes would be needed for US-based manufacturers tobe even remotely competitive. As things stand, they face three seriousimpediments — all inflicted by the government.

Translation: cut taxes, cut regulations, give us more money, shield us financially from failure.

Same as it ever was. If we were 'exceptional', we'd find a way to succeed regardless of impediments. According to the editors, however, we're doomed before we start not because of ourselves and our own ambition and drive but because of 'them'.
