1. I am generally an economic populist, but I can see an upside to this type of offshoring
What I mean is that the work mentioned here could do things like help cure cancer and stop aging. Pretty darn important. And curing cancer, aging, etc would help all working class Americans, and isn't that what the American Left should be about?


However, outsouring things like generic business software development, etc, is not the same thing. That does not provide such a huge benefit for all working class Americans. It only harms us. I say stop it.

Same goes for mass immigration "inshoring" of cheap 3rd world labor. Where is the massive benefit to all American working class citizens? Nowhere! It harms us. So stop it.
