As a software engineer in the US, I like that the US sucks up money from the rest of the world, that’s why my dollar goes so far when I travel and why I can retire in a non-reserve-currency country for cheap


Do you not feel as though that's incredibly anti-social? It's a very zero-sum "I'd prefer if things were better for me in direct proportion to how much worse they'll be for '_others_'"


Right, and you'd like if there was a special 0% income tax only for software engineers or if every software engineer got a free pony too.

That's why we need to also consider the needs of people that aren't American software engineers.
