Orwell was only wrong about the date. “Free trade” is when a farmer in Iowa can trade pork bellies with a rice farmer in Shenzhen. We don’t have free trade.
I’ve always wondered about “free trade” and free traders: do they believe free and open and unrestrictd markets should extend to the labor market, as well?
3 cheers for taxes and corporate welfare in the name of “national security”! Hip hip, hooray!! Hip hip, hooray!! Hip hip, hooray!!
