Remotewide – Find remote jobs with location independent pay
Beware of a thing: location independent pay <i>inside national borders</i> is a good thing for Citizens and the nation in general, beyond borders is a good things ONLY for big corps and the most poor, so a bad thing for us westerns.<p>Just imaging how can be the paycheck if the market is the entire world: seeing actual paychecks that means beside very little, very demanding in skills jobs where it&#x27;s next to impossible find workers from some cheaper countries because due to their schools systems they can&#x27;t form skilled enough people 98% of other remote works will clearly be interesting only for those from very poor countries were a very little salary is a high one in their own country.<p>For big corps of course that&#x27;s perfectly nice: a call center operator from Turkmenistan enough fluent in some westerns languages is equally good than a local one, his&#x2F;shes cost of living makes a salary of 150 USA&#x2F;EUR very interesting, connections are starting to be good enough not to have problems, so... Remember that actual neoliberal-driven IT is built around the concept of Ford&#x27;s model stereotypical workers, so real quality does not count much in actual systems.<p>I&#x27;m deeply in favor of WFH as much as possible, to do anything can be done remotely from remote because TLCs are there anyway and so that&#x27;s <i>can</i> and <i>should</i> mean efficient and cheap (even if often due do bad IT choices is the contrary), but remember that we can&#x27;t have equal cost of living anywhere: if we live at &quot;polar&quot; latitudes we need heating, a big expense, if we live at &quot;tropical&quot; latitudes we need cooling which can be a significant expensive (since it can be mitigated by p.v., just during the day), if we live in not-much-fertile or too dense area foods costs are higher, if we are far from industry goods costs more, but other things cost less etc. Even in an hypothetical &quot;fair, ethical and just global world&quot; we can&#x27;t see equal costs everywhere, so we need different prices and different wages and different social systems. Ignoring this means push even more the inequality accelerators <i>against</i> workers interests.
