Jobs always get the front and center attention when it comes to foreign influence. Outsourcing in the 90's,00's and then automation, etc...

But we need to realise what actually makes the world what we 'think' of when we say the times are changing, things aren't what they used to be etc.

It's not jobs we did or don't anymore, albeit that is certainly a part of it...it's what those jobs used to do for our communities and our sense of country, state, city, town, farm, etc.

It's not the job itself, it was the cultures and the values and the people who we dealt with during the daily adventures, in the off hours, at the bars etc.

It's not the work, it's that we are losing out communities.

We wouldn't care if we replaced the jobs with ones which have a similar cultural influence, and probably would instead see it much like we do new tech gadgetry or convenient products.

But instead we are throwing out our values and importing completely different ones with people who have none of the same principles.

It's not the work, it values.
