> if you can't out compete you can't outcompete anyone who works for 1/3rd the price. everyone with a green card gets paid less than you. doesn't matter if you're better -- you either need to be in the top 1% of a competitive skill, or in the bottom 1% of cost. they'll pay 10 guys who are 50% as good at a job but cost 60% less than a domestic worker instead of paying you. it's not a meritocracy, you have to play a different chess game than just "be good at a thing"
