I don’t think propping up the costs to the business makes it more competitive. I told you point blank that costs were NOT propped up. Wages were stagnant for 5 years. Why do you think they started hiring illegals in the first place? To be more competitive. Finally, when China started doing commercial printing, it was impossible to compete.
I’m giving you an example of how globalization is not free trade, free market, or anything else but taking advantage of artificial, government created, local situations, and is nothing but another tool used to tear this country down to the level of the lowest common denominator.
It’s nation states versus globalism. I choose nation states.
I still fail to see how that follows from your story.
What's the magic that's supposed to keep competition out of the market?
