That is really eye opening... This virus 70 years ago would have died in China, Wuhan. Even 30 years ago. Globalization is both good and bad at the same time.
I hope you survive the Orange Menace, we need you
Globalism is good for being able to utilize slave labor without the repercussions, and giving an "out of sight out of mind" attitude to everyone that doesn't live in those respective countries.
So basically, it allows you to create products more cheaply (labor), use cheaper parts (with less scrutiny/oversight over what parts are used), and allows you to do convenient things like avoid disposal laws/fees of developed countries.
All the while back in the developed countries, people who don't have white-collar technical skills are essentially screwed. And thus you have a mega-jump in drug use and homelessness over the last 30 years.
But hey - You can buy cheap shit!
Perhaps the only thing that globalism has helped is perhaps one day those countries that are now producing will eventually become developed as well, since they now have somewhat of an economy. Personally though, I don't ever see a place like India being fully developed. Ever.
