That doesn't really make sense. In no universe can you expect people to buy more expensive products. Government intervention (tarrifs, taxes, regulations, whatever) or some other measure is needed to protect local companies.
- wizofaus 3y agoI don't think GP was implying we should expect it. But it's fair to point out that there's a certain hypocrisy in complaining about jobs being lost to overseas while simultaneously buying goods made offshore in preference to those made locally. Note that I certainly accept on average this has been a beneficial arrangement for both sides, but it's the unevenness of how the wealth has been spread around that strikes me as the real issue.
