is it assuming that everyone thought globalization was a good thing?

Yes. And many did. The 1988 election was mostly about free trade with the US, which the pro-free trade party won. The general assumption was that some people would lose their jobs, but prices would go down.

And that's what happened. But it turns out that lots of people lost their jobs, and certain sectors shrank dramatically.

But we got more coffee shoplocations.

Oh shit most of those are now staffed by TFWs. โšฐ๏ธ
