Spoken like a true union thug.

The value-judgment you seek to impose on my remarks is quite irrelevant. The fact of the matter remains the same. There is a fundamental distinction between replacing jobs via technological advancement and displacing jobs via the formation of a cheap labor class. In the latter case, it makes no difference whether you export these jobs to an overseas underclass or create the underclass within the domestic economy. In either case, the end result is the same: a degradation of the earning and purchasing power of your own citizenry.

If you find that admirable & desirable, then more power to you, but don't pester me with this frivolous and fallacious analogy between innovation and exploitation - because I really can't be bothered.

Have a nice day.

By "cheap labor class" I take it you mean people in other countrie who are willing to work for less than you?

God created those people, not evil companies wanting to take away YOUR job.

Get over it.
