Reply to comment by Wild_Garlic in Rather than heralding a new era of prosperity for rural and remote regions, remote working, inspired by the pandemic, is exacerbating the global urban-rural divide in the digital platform labour market by giuliomagnifico

There's also a ton of legal issues involved, especially with respect to hiring people in other countries (as this article talks about).

A few years ago, I found out how many rules there were just to import goods. Don't fill out this form before you stuffs on the boat, that's a big fine. Don't have this paperwork, your goods are destroyed by customs and you get fined. Goods don't meet specs, good luck dealing with that in a Chinese court.

I can't image how many freaking rules there must be if you hire employees or even contractors in another country.
