Agreed. I also think that there are certain endeavors (medicine, space travel, etc.) where we need global cost sharing. Why are drugs cheaper in Canada? A lot of the drugs that go around the world are paid for by the US middle class. This cost sharing also removes the need for patent protections as everyone is opted in and buys from the global source. Obviously there are more details to solve but I'd like to see this approach tried.
