Right, but the larger point on the various "that's a low compensation" posts is, if you're living in the US, you're unlikely to be able to *afford* to take on that low a pay-rate given the realities of life in the US.

Similar problems are run into by US-based employers seeking to expand their hiring-pools by offering 100% remote positions: unless they're paying higher-cost markets' rates, they aren't going to be able to attract talent from those markets.
