Two sides of the same video

A friend who is not a fan of the increased linkages provided by trade and immigration sent me the following video. I am pretty sure he thought this was a comment that would offend me because of the seeming degrading nature of the scene on professionals.

But as I watched I gleaned another meaning. About two years ago Craig Barrett, the former CEO of Intel, told a group of educators that his company no longer needed to hire any more US engineers if they did not meet the international standards that his company required. Employees in the US should understand that they work in a global economy. And as we continue to integrate we will increasingly be working in different teams. One of the odd assumptions about the opponents of free flow of goods and human beings has been that somehow jobs in America are superior. As the video suggests, the hiring of accountants or programmers will work toward the standards of employers around the globe.
