Why are we even bothering blaming politicians? Companies moved production over to cut costs and Americans wanted cheap shit. We could have all just bought made in America in the 80s if we cared, that would have been the time to make a stand while the transition was still happening.
It is government's job to make sure international trade is done according to some basic rules, including labor and environment. Business' only metric is profits.
The idea that businesses are only responsible to make profits is a newer one (can't say new it's been decades) and one that is trending away imho
You mean the boomers consumers are to blame?
You've never bought anything with "made in china" on the label?
Of course I have. Those were the best pencils for poppin' in elementary school.
