Reality is a two edged sword. As an embodied spirit living in the
phenomenal plane, amongst given circumstances, it’s difficult not to grouse
about political decisions which have lowered our standard of living by
exporting jobs from the U.S.
Outsourcing and Free Trade Agreements have reduced the tax base and
contributed to corporate give-back incentives in an attempt to save or
“protect” jobs, which further erodes a crumbling infrastructure.
But, looking at the same situation, unattached to outcomes, from a neutral
perspective, the importation of jobs into underdeveloped countries has
provided them with a civilizing resonance.
