Nobody else lives there.

And that's because it's incredibly expensive to live there.

So I just put this out as a kind of a general academic question.

Who thinks it's good economics to fix salary costs in tech companies to living in San Francisco?

I make a lot of money running a software company.

I do not intend to spend my profit on propping up San Francisco housing and landlord.

I just don't.

I'm not going to.

I'm not going to do it.

And that's because of this.

So these are all the countries that we hire in.

America is just, this is actually pitched to New York cost of living, not even West Coast.

But it shows you that, and I actually think, frankly, and I know I'm a European basically talking about capitalism to a North American audience.

But I mean, I think it is anti-competitive, frankly, to say to people in Romania and Morocco and South Africa, you have to compete with people working on the West Coast.

You need to pay a whole lot of stuff in terms of rent.

the one bit of leverage you have, which is your price.

We're going to fix it to some kind of insane six-figure salary.

That's just my little mini pitch.

If you disagree, please say.

But anyway, I just think it's a bit like the yoga.
