The wage differential dwarfs the cost of regulation compliance. So eliminating the costs of compliance isn't enough to solve our problem.

How much is the cost of regulation compliance?

You should direct that question to my retired furniture manufacturing engineer friends. The companies for which they once worked are gone. Regulation did them in, forcing production off shore.

To be acceptable, furniture required finishes that became impossible to provide and be in compliance. That was but one of the causes.
