Me too! I can understand why many/most folks might not have a lot of sympathy for formerly highly paid tech workers tho.

Personally, even for the not-so-highly paid tech workers, if you're complaining about "some foreigner willing to do it for less", you don't get a lot of sympathy from me. If they can do it, and are willing to do it for less, good on them!

Complaining about less well off folks coming and taking our jobs seems so Un-American. I'd be upset to lose my job, no doubt. But I'd be in good company.

I know there are a lot of folks eager to tell me how naive/ignorant I am, but the bottom line is that I'm allergic to entitlement.
