Also allowing us to regulate it and spare the environment *and* people. This is awesome. I mean, it might temporarily suck for those that lost their job, just like it temporarily sucked for those who lost their jobs during the industrial revolution, but eh, soon the change will be over with and people and the economy will adapt. |
This is something I hadn't considered. This could really reduce outsourcing and support local economies. Adapting is going to be tough, but it's unavoidable and in the long term we'll hopefully be better off.
OT: Given the reportedly awful working conditions there I consider this a good thing over all.
