I was reading a post about how work from home might lead to rapid outsourcing of jobs to foreign countries for cheap labour. It’s been happening for a long time and with WFH, I’m sure we’ll be seeing even more of that happen. People are starting to take notice now that the “skilled” jobs are being outsourced.
Honestly speaking it’s been happening offline as well with new immigrants being exploited to perform cheap labour or jobs no one wants to do or “blue collar” jobs.
I’m looking around and I’m thinking let’s say companies in the USA are outsourcing jobs to another country, which means less jobs for Americans. If that American company has American consumers, it means American dollars are going from the American people pockets and into a foreign countries economy.
Housing is seen as a commodity marketed to rich investors, mainly foreign investors and not for the purpose of shelter for the locals who live and work there.
The cost of living is insane because businesses are profiteering and not using any of the profits to pay employees liveable wages and what they’re worth.
Climate change is another gift of capitalism. If it continues this way won’t we eventually all be fighting over clean food, water and air?
I’m just wondering if there is a breaking point. How much worse will it have to get before it gets better?
