>Because the low-wage jobs that left here are considered really good jobs in China. We’ve lifted a billion, two billion people out of poverty over the past 30 years. This sort of shit is the worst. People in China doing well is not our problem, just like people in Germany doing well is not our problem, and there is something deeply racist at the root of this suggestion, as if poor people in China are stealing wealth that rightly belongs to Americans. This is not how productivity works. The people stealing from Americans are rich Americans.
