The argument being made is that (contingent on you being hired by FAANG for a given role) you are entitled to US salary solely by virtue of being born in the US, whereas you get the much worse Polish salary if you happened to be born there instead. Assuming you're at the same compensation level, your work quality should be equivalent wherever you are.
Nobody in the thread suggested that anyone is entitled to a FAANG job.
Once again pundits turn an economic issue into a social one.
No one is entitled to anything. Are you "entitled" to subsidized healthcare by virtue of being born in a European country?
No, you're not, it's just a consequence of your birth. Maybe its not fair, life isn't fair. I bet every single individual on earth could identify some feature of themselves or their lives that they dislike that came about by chance as a result of their birth.
Not too mention that total income doesn't really matter as much as spending power does. I'd rather make $50k a year in Poland than $100k in SF Bay (at least, hypothetically, I don't actually want to live in any European country).

Of course. And the US is finally catching up in that regard.
No. No one is entitled to another humams time, energy, and effort.
Cool, so what if anything is anyone entitled to.
You should not be entitled to forcing those privileges via laws then.
Agreed.
