“You showed everyone it was perfectly possible to run lots of corporations with nearly everyone working remotely”
In India
In Vietnam
For some yes but I think many overestimate how easy it is to outsource a lot of White Collar jobs. The ones that could be done more cheaply were done a long time ago. Lots of companies have actually brought several functions back because Indian/Filipino, etc workers did not have the knowledge and experience to handle things as well as the corporations hoped they could. Its not like there will be a sudden massive new pool of cheap labor abroad that is capable of immediately taking over for US workers. There is a reason they've been bringing in so many H1b Indians to the US rather than just outsourcing everything to India.
