--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There was once a bipartisan agreement that free trade was good for both America and the world. After the financial crisis of 2008, Occupy Wall Street, the election of Donald Trump, and the resurgence of the progressive wing of the Democratic Party, that consensus fractured.

Free trade and globalization have given Americans more spending power, created better-paying jobs, lifted millions out of poverty, and made the country less vulnerable to supply-chain shocks and other crises. Although the total number of Americans working in the manufacturing sector has been declining, that's a global phenomenon driven by automation. U.S. manufacturing output has more than doubled since the passage of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).

"Even as its justifications and the global economy change, the current skepticism toward free trade and globalization remains misguided," wrote Scott Lincicome, the Cato Institute's director of general economics and Herbert A. Stiefel Center for Trade Policy Studies, in a recent article for Reason titled, "Globalization Is Alive, Well, and Changing."

"Free trade certainly isn't painless, but its disruptions do not outweigh its tremendous economic benefits for both the country and the world."

Nothing but a bullshit schill explanation to justify the 1% percent push to monopolize not just their country but the entire world. The baby formula shutdown in MI was a government attempt to federalize another industry like they did with healthcare. That factory has zero issues but they shut it down to intentionally cause the exact problem that it caused. This video tries to capitalize on ignorance. Almost every problem that globalization attempts to “fix” was caused by the very government pushing to globalize. Only the people who are unwilling to research themselves and believe the propaganda believe that the Loss of their own country’s wealth and power and redistribution amongst the rest of the world will help the ones stolen from. But in fact all it does is make all equally poor, eliminate middle classes and enrich and empower the government and the richest in the world. Using the scamdemic as an example will show you those exact results.
