Everytime I read this thread I keep hoping someone is going to tell me the cheat code to doing better than my starting point of broke and no established career. The only things I’ve got going for me is I have a useless bachelors from a state school and I have started the process of trying to get EU residency by descent, but I assume if it ever comes through it’ll be useless because their job market is even worse than California’s and I apparently have no hope as a foreigner who doesn’t speak the language. It’s still worth trying because they have more affordable housing and better healthcare than I have now. I don’t have the skills or the resume to get a remote job, but I think that’s probably the best way to make that move work if the paperwork ever comes through. I kind of want to get into tech or IT but with my experience of being ignored by the job market it’s hard to imagine gambling 5 figures on a coding boot camp or whatever, if I could even borrow the money. I daydream about maybe starting a business but without a pile of money and a credible business plan, I don’t think that’s likely either. I wasted more than a decade on my parents business that they didn’t want to succeed, more recently I’ve worked in foodservice, I had a job mowing grass around power poles, and I was a medical courier. Maybe getting a good job is a function of who you know, I don’t know anyone.

We're not actually getting corporate fiefdoms because lol corporate overlords are neither willing nor able to actually put the effort or resources into running a functional society. Fordlandia is like the absolute best case scenario of how that shakes out.

this is a stupid question, but What Is To Be Done about call centers, virtual personal assistants, and other forms of labor-only outsourcing? It's not like immigration because you cannot clamp down on it on the one end, but neither can you organize around it because it's all just people thousands of miles away sitting in their homes. is there such a thing as tariffs or protectionism against people Zoom-ing in from overseas?

It's not like immigration because you cannot clamp down on it on the one end, but neither can you organize around it because it's all just people thousands of miles away sitting in their homes. Yeah, tariffs could theoretically be a thing, but you'd be relying on companies being honest about where they're sourcing their labor from, and loving  at that.Only way I could see it working is absolutely punishing fines (like, $10,000,000 per incident) along with with protecting reporters' identities and a 50/50 split on the payout between the reporter and the government. Obviously, none of that's ever happening.

Well there's the obvious question about CoL so I picked the "worst" country on that graph. https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/country_result.jsp?country=Japan: Rent in Japan is, on average, 67.2% lower than in United States. So let's take that 77k and mulltiply it by 33%. You get a bit under 25.5k, which means the money is effectively worth less than the 28k. There ya go.

Isn't this graph almost entirely explained by taxes for public services, cost of living, on top of relative euro value?
