Global decoupling of trade and deglobalization is good? Who decided that?
- NewJazz 3y agoThe geriatric US Senate.
- foogazi 3y agoThat’s not what parent comment said
- bee_rider 3y agoEnergy infrastructure is pretty fundamental stuff, it is good to have some independence. There are alternative configurations for globalization other than: everybody buys everything from one country.
- mint2 3y agoOh I don’t know, call me crazy but perhaps, just perhaps it could be the massive failure of the west’s several decade bet from like 1990 through 2015ish that open trade with Russia and China would influence their behaviors for the better. In reality all it did was give fairly hostile countries substantial leverage over the west. Good outcome yeah! But im not a libertarian on the internet so what do I know.
- okasaki 3y agoFree trade certainly didn't make American behavior any better, so I don't know why anybody thought that.
