In specialized high-tech manufacturing, foreign companies often out-compete US rivals by treating their workers better.

Those companies succeed even though they pay higher taxes than in the US, which enables everyone in those countries to live a better life.

This is interesting, but it doesn't make globalization ok overall. Specialized high-tech manufacturing employs only a small fraction of workers. It is the exception and will remain so. Most factory employees are in the race-to-the-bottom economy where globalization provides a force to knock down unions and workers' rights. For them, as for farm workers, globalization is a disaster.

Here's what's wrong with Bannon.

Scientists protested in Boston: Stand up for Science.

Supermarkets offer fresh fruit and vegetables all the time by importing them from other countries, even other continents. The extreme weather events that interrupt this are a foretaste of global heating disaster.

The precarious service sweatshop platforms are platforms for racial discrimination.

This results from making users give their names, then allowing lots of people (most of them racist, at least unconsciously) to accept or reject each user.

Please don't use the word "sharing" to describe what these platforms do. What they do is a kind of business, and "sharing" means cooperation that isn't a sale.

"Gig economy" is not incorrect, but "precarious service sweatshop" explicitly states their principal wrong.
