I think one thing he failed to recognize, or take into account... as far as "out sourcing" of jobs goes... a very crucial and important piece is taxes.

High tax on business is going to chase the jobs he mentioned over seas even faster.

very interesting, I think that jobs are more likely to leave fat bloated lazy societies that want money for just being alive. The UK is a massive example of this with huge sections of society unachieved anything. It will be interesting to see what happens in our life times, though I do believe that the western world wont go without a flight.

@MRSketch09 Exodus in the sense of escaping en masse from a hostile environment. (i.e high tax situation).

@intermender

Exodus?



[intermender]

@MRSketch09 ah sorry, i meant slow down the exodus by taxing less. Yes i know you like your sovereignty and you are clearly not alone; but global secular government allows all of us to keep all our cultures and identity, but at the same time ensure no single culture dominates or exploits another. The history of suffering on our planet directly corrolates with cultural domination, therefore i think countries are an outmoded notion we can do without to ensure future survival and eliminate wars.

@intermender

What do you mean it will slow it down?

I'm saying taxes will speed it up, the outsourcing of jobs, to other countries.

Also I like our constitution... So I'd rather keep our sovereignty. Well I can't say its a complete sovereignty ...but its better than nothing.

[intermender]

@MRSketch09 yes, that might slow it down but will it stop it? Sounds to me we need to all retrain in right-brain jobs; or maybe scrap national boundaries altogether for a global nation (under secular and free speech elected government) and raise every citizen of the earth to the same level.

But i dont think the rising nations in the east will give up their nationalism now they are gaining the upper hand, and course there's still massive inertia of national pride and identity in the west.

WAR!
