And because you won the genetic lottery, you get to exclude access to a country that spent billions and maybe trillions of dollars building its infrastructure?

Doing off-shore contracting work while traveling can only ever be a net positive for a country. Money is repatriated from overseas and pumped into the local economy and no jobs are expatriated.
- kijin 14y ago> no jobs are expatriated Yes, but good luck convincing politicians and voters that one person doing paid work != another person whose job is now gone. As if the number of jobs was a zero-sum game.
- fijal 14y agoI think you missed the point. The job will be performed whether the person is on the soil or not. It's next to completely irrelevant whether you accept someone or not - he'll do the job anyway with modern IT infrastructure. That's obviously blatantly false, because we're still connecting to other people in real life, however it's a point where we're increasingly heading.
