my point is that it applies to every job you can imagine not just low skilled crap like assembly and growing rice...
programmers, engineers, researchers, scientists etc...why pay some US guy $10.000/month when you can pay a 3rd world guy 10x less?
sure you will need SOME local jobs like doctors and services that are US domestic by nature...but opening a research lab in china is like 10x less expensive than in the USA...you will have to follow 10x less laws in china...
with US education being the predatory system that it is, skilled workers are in deficit anyway...1 trillion $ student debt and growing, its not going to get better...1/3 of your population has a college degree...the other 2/3 need a job too
"the shit jobs went to china we will all be scientists and programmers" is not a valid argument IMO...
