For example, if some day computers program themselves and the jobs are all in looking beautiful and performing in public, I'd be doing a lot less well. Globalization only seems inevitable if it happens to be moving the globe your way.
Therein lies a big part of the problem. You're asking families who've lived somewhere to abandon the place they've called home and established for decades when the only big employer in their small town closes. This is a big problem when you have an entire region of a country that is nothing but small towns with only one (now no) big factory in them. Michigan says hi.
That's still the same euphemism to abstract human responsibility away. The clock moves forward, otherwise what we tend to call "progress" as if it's on a one-dimensional line is just a point on one branch in a tree with infinite branches, and it's made up mostly of decisions.
I just explained this; now "things moved forward", and you'll simply have to drop your euphemism and never use it again. Don't look at me for help, unless you're looking for help to have this explained more thoroughly.
I think you meant "trade." But your mistake is quite illustrative.
You can't go to school to acquire (in this example) supermodel looks.
