- crazygringo 7y agoThat's just factually untrue. First-world workers aren't losing jobs in aggregate at all. They're not statistically worse off at all. (Unfortunately median income hasn't been improving, but it certainly hasn't been getting meaningfully worse.) While the global poor are experiencing massive benefits lifting them out of poverty. I fail to see what is inhumane here.
- jessriedel 7y agoYou misinterpret. I'm not claiming that the effect of globalization is making the global poor worse off than they were before, or the first-world workers better off than they were before. I am saying the global poor are starting much worse off and, even after benefiting from globalization, remaining worse off than first-world workers.
- thrwayxyz 7y agoYes thank you communism. Yet again lifting billions out of poverty.
