      I think that companies shouldn’t be allowed to change wage/salary based on locale.

      But I have no idea how that could be enforced.

          And how do you enforce the taxes?

          The problem i was alluding to was shell companies, subsidiaries, and all the existing popular tax avoiding strategies used by big companies (that’d also be used for avoiding counting those employees)

          LOL you think they wouldn’t have already done that if they could? Explain to me how you think that’d be the result of making offshore labour more expensive 🤣🤣🤣
