Nothing wrong with a global economy. It’s been around for thousands of years since the beginning of civilization, when one region would trade with another. It hit a “romatic” period with the Silk Road, Marco Polo, and the Age of Exploration.

Just because liberals try to subvert the international economy as a justification for everything from open borders to a world government doesn’t mean a macro economy is bad. It just means there are parasites in the system.

There’s nothing wrong with a global economy.

There IS however something wrong with erstwhile “Americans” profiting themselves by firing other Americans and sending our industrial might to a massive communist country, 4 times our size!

That’s something referred to as “treason”.

Yes, international trade has been happening for thousands of years. One difference is that in the past, imported items were most often unique to the exporting countries and not otherwise available in the importing countries. Another difference between then and now is that now, too many US business leaders are working with foreign despots against the security interests of their own countrymen.
