Do you favor a $15 or $20 minimum wage? for fast food chains or other business? If not, why? I really don’t know what your answer might be. But I suspect you’d say no. I suspect you’d say, it’s not the government’s job to choose the hourly cost of labor. Possibly, if you think it through, you’ll see how economic nationalism is as bogus as liberal voodoo economics for hourly wages. Government proscriptions on wages and such have nothing to do with supply or demand. It has nothing to do with markets. And economic nationalism to push back against globalis is a propaganda tool for empowering the state, bureaucrats and lobbyists.

Why of course I don’t favor a minimum wage like that, or even wish there could be one at all.

I do favor whatever measures are intended to stop the burn of the country’s static treasure.

You’re totally off base here. There is no perfect libertarian free market for Trump to muck up. If there were I might agree with you. The government has already placed it’s thumb on the scale through cronyism and excessive regulation. There’s NO chance that a competing business can fill the void left by offshoring... It only serves to perpetuate the greed fest.
