Exactly. The "brain work" rationalization was just a way to sell outsourcing to the middle class, enabling conservatives to break working-class political power. The next wave, well underway since the tech bubble reduced communication costs to zero, will break the middle class.

The quicker we can get the entire world to wage parity, the sooner we can stop arguing about nationality and outsourcing and get back to improving humanity.

Wage parity is a pipe dream. Each country has different social, political and educational systems that lead to uneven economic progress. You will wait a long time to get back to improving humanity.
