Just goes to show there's no winning with internet opinion. Building stuff overseas at the lowest possible price is exploitative and sacrifices American jobs, but then when a company wants to build more expensive, higher quality stuff in the US it's a waste of resources.
- colinmhayes 5y agoWell yea, different people have different opinions. I think globalization is a good thing that provides cheap goods and better jobs for the global poor. Others think globalization is a bad thing that offshores American jobs and exploits workers. I don't think either side is wrong.
- cactus2093 5y ago> Well yea, different people have different opinions. Yes but the fact that either extreme can bubble up to the top such that if you say anything you immediately get hit with the strongest disagreement, is I think one of the hallmark properties and biggest problems with the internet/social media
- fighterpilot 5y agoThe idea that overseas manufacting in poor countries is exploitation is such obvious BS, given that you can observe the hundreds of millions that were lifted from poverty as a direct consequence, and without which would still be in poverty.
