You're simply out of touch then. Everybody has a right to decent livable wages. It shouldn't be that people have to almost give themselves mental illness to survive.
“Now, no one — certainly not me — is discounting the power of markets,” Sullivan noted at the time. “But in the name of oversimplified market efficiency, a large non-market economy had been integrated into the international economic order in a way that posed considerable challenges.”
HORSESHIT. Boils my blood hearing rich industrialist propaganda on why they run and cry to their government about having to compete.
Well, you let your industrialists out of their pen and those assholes ran amok, doing everything they can to not pay workers fair and livable wages.
This only worked so long as the pitiful wages were far better than what the people in those countries could get. Now that China and other countries catch up with the west they bitch about "IP theft" and other dogwhistles... anything except paying decent wages and taking less profit for themselves.
It's not so straightforward like that. Many countries like Afganistan, Iraq, Vietnam are still reeling from Direct American meddling. I could sit here and type several chapters if I also talked about the indirect meddling.

Yeah people get real defensive about inanimate objects but when some people lose lives it's like their empathy turns into animosity and suddenly culture is more important than lives.
When it does snap usually the steel and concrete remain intact. It's the stem of the bridge that's most vulnerable to shear or buckling forces... at least that's how my stuff fail.
At some point a lot of people impacted by U.S. foreign actions decide the U.S.A needs to be punished and hence you see a lot of people turning against Biden. Electing the orange clown dooms the U.S so they will stop fucking with the rest of the world.
