"Globalism produces beautiful iPads."
That should read something more like "Our implementation of globalism, heavily curated to favor elite special interests, produces beautiful iPads."
There's nothing inherent to globalism that requires it produce beautiful iPads.
Beautiful iPads are more the result of purposefully crafted laws and policies, at the behest of special interests, for the purpose of growing their pile of coconuts faster than the rest of us can.

- hkajshdf67 9y agoWhich laws and policies? Assuming that's what you mean, it basically starts, in America, with the Constitution, which originally only allowed white male landowners a vote. Humans got together in a room and decided, based upon their knowledge and experience and opinions, who should be allowed to vote and who shouldn't. The Senate is basically doing that right now with healthcare; deciding in private who should have a say in what healthcare looks like. There's no subterfuge to any of it. It's all right there in our faces. Read the letters and writings of the Founder Fathers. James Madison in particular made it clear he felt that the new government should protect the rich from the poor. It leads directly into what we're seeing today. The poor shouldn't have healthcare or a living wage if the rich have to pay for it. Humans with certain ideas placed in their minds go into a room and craft policy with those ideas in mind.
