tl;dr; I'm only in the top 3'rd percentile and I feel envy for the top 1'st percentile, and I'm willing to cause millions to suffer dire poverty in order to mitigate my feelings of envy.

tl;dr you are primarily concerned with the exploitation of dire poverty in third world countries for personal gain.

We both know that importing the best Bangladeshi talent to the United States because it's 50% cheaper than the average American is not going to help the average impoverished Bangladeshi. Quite the opposite, in fact.

you are primarily concerned with the exploitation of dire poverty in third world countries for mutual gain.

Fixed that for you. FYI, I'm an American working for an Indian company. So according to your theory, I'm the one being happily exploited by global trade.

By the way, according to your github profile, you live in Singapore. You were born there (Colm O'connor sounds like a very Singaporean name) and never plan to leave, right? Or is this a situation of "restrict their freedom to move, but not mine"?

These things cross the line. It's fine to have a contrarian view but please don't put an acerbic and personal spin on it when posting here.
