Well I don’t think it’s necessarily wrong for people in less developed countries to work for more developed countries. Even idealistically, the best state might be working for the first world to gain resources to send to the home country as it bootstraps itself into higher prosperity. The unfortunate fact is that highly educated people need infrastructure and stability to support that education, and therefore can gain many more resources working for developed countries than they can for their own. There just isn’t enough opportunity for education to push things forward without the infrastructure behind it.
Of course, yeah, relying on corruption and fraud from another continent to try and make a living you can’t make in your own country is a problem. When the issue is that local corruption is not just having them work for more developed countries, but having them abandon their home countries entirely, yeah that’s a big problem. But I don’t think there’s a problem with having people work remotely for foreign companies while their own country isn’t yet able to properly utilize their own skills yet.
- carlosjobim 3y ago> "gain resources to send to the home country" The resources are already in their home country from the beginning. Then the local elite sell those resources to foreigners and leave their countrymen being poor. Since poor isn't stupid, those countrymen learn to write essays since learning is free. Then they work for foreigners to get some money, so they can buy resources. It's a circle of stupidity. Everything in life is step by step. I completely understand those who emigrate or work for foreign companies instead of working on improving their country - I had to do that myself after fighting for many years. Nobody can be so patriotic that they throw their life away in that manner. What I don't understand is how the rulers can decide to continue on this road to ruin.
