I know I'm not super-intelligent like the OP, but what's a "wierd"?

If they could, they would.

If what this person was saying were true to any significant degree, why have there not been an exodus of people moving to tropical third world shytholes to stretch the purchasing power?

People will do it for retirement but not too many "real" jobs are able to do this long term.

Only partially true and only for large companies. Call a regional mid-sized company and everybody is in the US.

See the first sentence of my comment.

Ive been saying this all along, there are billions of people willing to take your job for far less

  My employer has almost given up trying to expand engineering and software development in the US...  facing a huge wave of retirements as boomers exit, not enough qualified younger people coming in, too much job hopping so there's no continuity.  The big headcount growth now is in our Cork, Ireland location.

Retirees move all the time. Many go to monkey countries to stretch their dollar.
