The economy is not a zero sum game.

The US created literally all relevant consumer technology in the last 30 or so years and demand for tech talent has exploded ever since.

Having a competitve sector/ economy which regularly pushes the edge of innovation and hence expands demand (both on sell and supply side) is actually what keeps salaries up.

This logic is as deeply flawed as often as it comes up.
