An incredibly important point that gets missed very often

The other point that’s often forgotten is that labor costs have risen, and shipping has gotten cheaper. This is just how economics plays out. Protectionism can be great for national security and employment, but people would have to stop expecting things to be cheap.
That people don’t care about those in developing countries does not mean they missed it.
