    In conjunction with this the government should just tax the externalities the companies dodge paying for by moving to lax regulation countries.

    It’s not as if they do not pollute there. This way producing in country can become interesting again as the government mandates a minimum price and thus guarantees if you can produce locally for below that amount you can exist.

      It’s almost like all these free trade agreements and such with the developing world were all designed to enrich the oligarchical ruling class. With zero fucks given to anything but cheap labor with higher profit margins. The comparative advantage is just a fun way to explain exploiting maximum profit from a vulnerable economy willing to eat shit with a smile.
