alt text: 18 of our 40 employees are located in the Philippines. Insanely competent, great judgement, and $5 per hour. If you run a small business and don't have overseas help you're at a disadvantage

But it would mean more employment and higher wages. How can you demand a significantly higher wage if your employer can pay some Latino kid $5/hr to do the same job? Sure, prices might go up but so would wages.

Regardless, this particular form of imperialism cannot be rolled back and I do not expect it to be. It's much to entangled with every other aspect of our economic system. I'm not seriously arguing for changing only this particular facet of capitalism, I'm only arguing that it's wrong and causes genuine harm.
