"Free Trade?"
A manufacturing facility in the US is closed.
The employees laid off.
Facility moves to Mexico to manufacture the same thing.
Ships the product for sale in the US (supposedly at a lower price).
Laid off employees blamed for losing their jobs.
(You've heard the refrain, "The former employees didn't keep up with the world of changing technology", or something like that.)
The product that was manufactured in the US is now sold at a higher price (to makeup for "transportation costs" etc.)
Company executives give themselves huge boost in pay and benefits.

Then there is the "Free Trade" of the H1B visa scam.
Americans displaced deliberately by US Government/Corporate collusion through importing foreigners to take the place of working Americans. Supposedly because there aren't enough Americans to do the "intellectually demanding" tech jobs.

"Free Trade" is an outright betrayal of Americans!! It is the US Government (Dems & Republicans) & the Corporate world saying "FU American! We going to starve you to extinction!"

THANK YOU BOTH

Great Observations.

‘Free Trade” as done by our government is nothing more than collectivism on a global level.
