That's NOT the fate of Western workers. We're seeing not only the isolation of economies but also the expansion of gov control through countless "national emergencies". The first outcome won't lead to hiring expensive local workers, but rather to automation. The second can be used to suppress strikes and protests.

So it looks like we’re heading for a world where instead of cheap labor, there’s just no labor at all. People on couches, robots on the factory floor, and the government as the ultimate HR manager. Strikes?  I mean what strikes - when protesting requires prior approval and a QR code?😁

yep. but you cannot afford a couch when you do not work, so...

It seems that instead of globalization, we’re facing “global loneliness,” and robots against striking workers are becoming a new corporate dystopian scenario))
Joking aside, I think automation is not just a way to reduce costs, but rather a logical stage in technological development. Yes, at some point, it simply becomes economically unfeasible to cling to expensive manual labor. The question here is whether society and institutions will adapt to these changes. I’m saying this outside of Trump’s politics, just in general. We live in very interesting times)
