- somesortofsystm 4y ago"Just economics", sure, its cheap to exploit China. That's why I'm saying: just, stop! It has to become consumer-preferred to have something cool be built locally. This won't happen until someone builds something cool this way.
- nforgerit 4y agoAnd how is the economics changing if you internalize social and environmental cost?
- themitigating 4y agoCan you elaborate, I don't know what you mean
- nforgerit 4y agoWell I'm calling bullshit on neoliberal free-trade ideology based on voodoo economics which just looks at simple measurable factors like "cost of labor" completely ignoring social cost (local unemployment, mass migration, social tensions, etc.) and ecological cost (pollution, climate crisis, etc.) which were commonly socialized (tax money) in case of a concrete crisis. Not a personal attack, sorry if it sounded like that.
