It has worse outcomes because it wastes a lot, that’s what I was saying.
> It's tough for me to not look at your claims as not malicious
You are too quick to think, everyone on this planet is out to get you or has “malicious” and “evil” intentions.
> "NAFTA is a good thing for usa"
Nope: https://www.epi.org/blog/naftas-impact-workers/ https://www.epi.org/blog/naftas-impact-workers/
You’re missing the long term idea around NAFTA, it’s to make America competitive again and curb its reliance on other continents like europe or asia.
They want to reshore manufacturing to usa and its neighbours. This is necessary.
The way you just shut it up and say “nope” that it removes short term bargaining power for american workers.
It’s like talking about the industrial revolution or the agricultural revolution which brought efficiencies and made those countries more productive.
Back then they argued that it was removing bargaining power of people working at farms, that it was taking away jobs like being a tailor at a sweatshop working your way to death.
Standard of living of americans are much better now, NAFTA long term is planned to be like that, it may fail, but bets are on to make it succeed.
I’d recommend talking to a therapist, all this anarcho capitalism, a random HN commenter being somehow “malicious” and this “evil agenda” to change people’s opinions on HN, idk this is too much drama. Just have a civil conversation, we are humans, not demons or angels.
