   Some will be better than others

   I was a consultant at Toshiba in Silicon Valley in the late 90s, and I could see that Toshiba was just maintaining a token presence there. The American employees were people of low caliber, the Japanese stuck to themselves and usually hated living there. I've observed Europeans at other companies acting the same way. What the USA offers is a good higher education system and a culture of opennness where people aren't afraid to challenge accepted notions. Foreign companies, which are usually more hierarchical places, may or may not be able to make full use of it.

   onshoring (in this sense) has been going on for ages. If you want to make it in tech, you have got to make it in silicon valley.
   Doesn't help your ordinary joe!
