Let’s Hope So The United States has spent the last four decades - “free trading” away millions of domestic jobs to everywhere else on the planet. Whether accidental or intentional on our part - the gigs left. It was intentional on the part of all the world’s other governments. They aren’t nearly as free trade-y as we are - they rigged their laws to favor companies that came and stayed within their confines. And they would break the law - and our trade agreements - when that wasn’t crony enough.
