Interestingly, I remember in the 90s when offshoring really started to take off beyond just steel and some manufacturing, the response from the politicians was that BS about rising tide lifting all boats. Then somewhere in the last 10 years, the mantra was that some sectors would be worse off with globalization, but if you got an education, you'd be fine.
