This is my first time seeing this theory. Kinda interesting take.
Why would the companies leave, rather than just expanding into those authoritarian countries? I guess... Why not both?
Alternatively, why not just turn the US into one of those authoritarian countries?
I'm guessing it will happen in some way with someone, at this rate, but keep in mind most tech company employees aren't going to want to move to a banana republic.
Cheap labor and less expectations, and with the jobs they are giving to remote workers they are giving them higher purchasing power. Eventually they will realize they can basically start over with a much more subservient audience.
Granted we can see that not all of them are super accepting and would rather their own internal companies become big but I can see the investors behind ours happily moving and pushing for partnerships or acquisitions when they decide they need the extra cash.
