Yep. I hadn’t seen it put this way before. This in particular caught my eye:
“Tenured Harvard professors hymning praise to global progressive culture don’t suddenly discover their positions drawn and quartered into four part-time lecturer positions.”
What would happen to their elite attitudes if universities started replacing professors with H1B visa workers being paid $20K/yr from Eqypt and India ? What if all the new PHD graduates were to find ZERO teaching positions available because they were all being filled with cheap foreign workers ? And what if those tenured professors were to lose tenure and be fired for “hate speech” if they objected to jobs being filled with foreigners ?
We could take this further.
What if a push was made for hospitals and doc-in-a-box urgent care practices to hire H1B doctors from other countries and pay them only $20K/yr ? That would sure bring down the cost of healthcare in this country. Just change policy at the AMA for licensing of doctors and nurses. Allow import of medical devices and supplies and drugs as well. There are so many sectors that have not *YET* felt the pain of globalization.
Doctors and nurses will scream that the public must be protected from shoddy work done by unqualified foreign labor, but ... who protected the public from shoddy work making products in China or shoddy customer-service call centers in India ? Nobody. Melamine in dog food and lead in children’s toys and cell phones that explode and TVs that die in a year and clothes that fall apart after a few washings.
Isn’t globalization great ? At least with all these workers on H1B visas, the experiment can be ended at any time and those workers sent home. The American manufacturing sector workers never got that grace.
