I reached that conclusion at the start of the coronavirus lockdown; that the managers who resisted letting us work remotely were consoling themselves at the outsourcing experiment they were conducting. But I’m not too sure outsourcing white collar jobs will work. Trumpism has 40% of the electorate in any western country. Add in the masses of disillusioned white collar workers, and populism will be the natural political position of every Western country (therefore joining the rest of the world) Now imagine a “respectable” Trumpism, i.e. populism without the icky Le Penns, Salvinis, or Trumps. Imagine Brexit with half as many remainers.
