For double the salary probably, the problem is there's always a line of people looking for work.
That's why unions are important and for people to not be scabs
I am pro-union, but I won't deny that's utopic for now.
Unionizing people on your country? Feasible. But what then? Because with this AI race what they actually are doing is "ok, now I have a 'bot' that does a lot of your work, so I'm offering you half of your hourly rate. Oh, you don't accept it? Ok, let's substitute our whole mainland team for a remote one with people from LATAM/India/China for 1/3 of the hourly rate."
This shit ain't gonna end well in the long run.
It’s already not looking well. We’ve destroyed the United States, middle class and propped up all the middle classes of the countries you listed. I have no problem with the ladder, but I do have a problem with the former.
