Do you? You think our standard of living would be lower if more Americans were working?

That depends. American workers are not automatically entitled to a living. Nor are any workers. Nor am I, and since no law protects my income against global competition, no law should protect anyone else's.

If American workers can produce something I want for less than foreign workers, then those workers are entitled to a living. I have no problem with that. That's what the market is for.

Otherwise, they need to be redeployed in such a way as to maximize output.

The globe's a big place. Deal with it.

Lucky you.

There are laws on the books that actively seek to destroy mine. Successfully, I might add.

So, you don’t believe in countries. Got it. A GenWhyMe globalist type.
