> are you actually arguing that that is a net benefit?

Net benefit to who? Global capital efficiency, people?

Jobs going overeseas to countries with lower wages and less safty/environmental/etc. regulation has been a net loss for humanity... but it has been a major win for capitol!

Why is it a net loss to humanity if a person in a poor country does the job instead of a person in your country? They're people too.

The lack of safety and environmental regulations, specifically.

Also the wages thing, but I understand that is a more nuanced issue, so let’s set it aside for a moment.
