(Also; don't get it twisted - I could give a rats ass for nationalism and your fear of "foreigners" I just happen to believe trade and temporary employment should be tied to regulations matching the minimum standards for American workers because I'm not a cracker fucking slaver)
(You want access to our markets? Pay your workers a fair wage at home. You want the right to import temporary workers for jobs you swear up and down Americans don't want? You will pay them what you pay us or it's not gonna fly. Anything else is exploitation and slavery. Gtfo)
(this whole "globalism" argument is framed in such a way to benefit either reactionaries and slavers and I'm not fucking having it. Trade does not have to work this way. Employment does not have to work this way. The race to the bottom is dictated from above it's not natural law)
(We could use trade to end poverty and elevate the entire developing world at the same time - we don't; we use it so 500 billionaires can buy more shit while violating labor laws)
