People from the West always complain when people from the developing world are hired to do work for people in the west.

They got angry about China, the Philippines, India, Kenya.

Oddly, it’s never the people in those countries complaining that they got a better paying job!

Only rich people who think, apparently, that this new middle class ought to be kicked back to the farm fields.

The fact that other countries receive investment, which they welcome, doesn't mean they're not being exploited.

The Western companies who employ or contract people in these other countries aren't altruistically investing. They're on the hunt for people who will accept lower wages, and for governments that won't insist on workers rights, health and safety.
