Too bad that progressive leftist free-trade mantras made these deals so cost effective.

Why do so many people think that free trade and globalization are “leftist” ideas? It’s Big Business that pushed for those things, to gain access to markets and cheap labor.

Historically, “leftist” meant “labor.” Labor has nothing to gain from competition with third world sweatshops.

The USA does not have a party that represents labor. The USA has two big business parties that pander to various groups based on cultural issues.

Because tariffs flatten those free trade ripples, and leftists are against tariffs.

What is a leftist in your view?

I thought left = labor.

I agree.


Take a look at Amazon, and you'll see all of the "N95" or "KN95" masks the Chinese vendors are selling. Then, look at the reviews from US citizens that are starting to roll in. The ratings are scathing and low. Most people caution to not buy. The masks are cheaply made and substandard.


China is a cesspool of people who produce cheap cr*p. We should cut all ties with the Chinese and take back our manufacturing and dignity.
