European QoL is predicated on protecting European industry. Why should European workers lose their jobs because you want to buy something cheaper?

If you don't build nor buy European, you become a vassal of either the US or China.

europe can copy a lot of what made china a superpower (not the weak labor rights obviously). subsidize everything and build up state owned factories. that will end unemployment and make eu products cheaper. no need to be all protectionist
