> US rightfully placed a bunch of labor/environmental regulations around manufacturing which moved to China but stupidly didn't place restrictions on goods manufactured with severe labor and environmental violations. The 'US' isn't a monolithic thing. US market leaders convinced US politicians to open US markets to China, and the lack of labor and environmental regulations was a feature, not a bug in the plan. | ||

> The 'US' isn't a monolithic thing Yeah, we all know that. What next? You are going to tell me "US politicians" aren't a monolithic thing? Or that we are made up of atoms? Who voted for the politicians? Who clamored for cheaper goods and fell for the lies? | ||
