alt text: 18 of our 40 employees are located in the Philippines. Insanely competent, great judgement, and $5 per hour. If you run a small business and don't have overseas help you're at a disadvantage

I think it's fine to outsource some things overseas, but don't criminally underpay them!

$5/hr is a decent wage in the Philippines. Minimum wage there is ~$11/day, so $5/hr is quite a bit more than minimum wage.

Their labor creates expensive value in an expensive market. Share accordingly.

“It’s a great pay where they are” argument is bullshit.

Exactly this. If they are making the same product as a local team that generates the same revenue, you're just taking a bigger slice of their surplus value. In other words, exploiting them harder.
