But we’ve just exported our pollution to 3rd world countries to do a lot of our dirty manufacturing. thelawlorfaithful, on 31 Dec 2012 - 04:01 AM, said:One of the rules I live by: never underestimate a man in a dandy looking sweater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We degraded our standards by moving everything out to the lowest common denominator country. Companies went to where they could abuse labor and environmental standards and fired American workers. That is what I mean by degrading our standards. We degraded our standards on the products we buy in the labor and environmental standards that were used to manufacture them.

But we’ve just exported our pollution to 3rd world countries to do a lot of our dirty manufacturing. Exactly, we degraded our standards when we decided to buy products made with slave labor and no environmental standards at the expense of American workers to give a tilted playing field to multinational corporations.

We degraded our standards on the products we buy in the labor and environmental standards that were used to manufacture them. All true,. However That limits trade and manufacturing to here in the US, Europe, Australia, Japan and Korea. Again, Trumps trade war on steroids. How do we encourage Central and South America, Africa, and much of Asia to increase labor and environmental standards? We forbid American companies to manufacture there and that increased prices on consumers far, farm more than tariffs. Not doing trade with them at all? Making tariffs proportional to improvement in those areas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
