How many of those jobs can match the salaries that these tech companies had? Tech hiring largely froze last summer. Sure, developers will find other jobs, but there are many people who will struggle to replicate what they had.

Honestly, these jobs are likely paying far more than 2x Europeans. Tech salaries in America are at least 2x Canada, they can often be 3-4x many European countries. When you include stock grants, perks, etc, these are damn expensive employees.

I just want to bitch slap everyone who is buying courses from people online. If they truly have some grand idea, someone with a lot more money (businesses) would be buying it and not some college kid.

Reply to U.S. tech giants face pressure from Europe’s telcos to pay for building the internet by thinkB4WeSpeak
Honestly, this is some of the most flawed logic I’ve ever seen. They are really blaming the provider for offering the content their subscribers are wishing to access.
While we’re at it, let’s make McDonald’s pay me for their chicken sandwich being so damn delicious. This shit is ludicrous. European telcos did a race to the bottom and now can’t afford to support their infrastructure. So instead of raising prices and generating revenue to support their network, they just blame the content providers and not their subscribers. Oof man.
