There is an argument that Globalization makes for a better world, as illustrated by the video.
People are better off, less people starve, stress goes down, and there are fewer wars.
There are less man made emergencies, etc.
The question is "who pays the bill?"
Who pays the bill when it is far cheaper to make good overseas, vs at home?
Thus jobs flood overseas, over the border, etc. benefiting companies and countries who take advantage of the difference in wages.
The loss of jobs and the cheaper goods destroying local manufacturers are costs paid by the local economy.
Thus, poorly implemented as a government policy and principle for decades, it aids foreign economies at the expense of the economy at home. It is not a line item in the federal budget labeled as "foreign aid"
Therefore, Globalization was/is sort of like a foreign aid program for the rest of the world in disguise.
It has global benefits, but at a price for economies at home
This is no simile. it is literal.

I didn't ask for a class in globalization, I said stop using similies as examples

and I point out that it wasn't a simile.
