You can't compete on cost when you demand things be regulated. Take for example: Medicine, we mandate doctors go through ~11 years of education before they are qualified and then complain about the cost and say that we can get the procedure done in MX for cheaper. Of course, Med school starting at 17 and practicing at 25 is cheaper than what we do. https://www.reddit.com/r/premed/comments/1ddxrt2/considering_studying_in_mexico_thoughts/ https://www.reddit.com/r/premed/comments/1ddxrt2/considering... Steel: We want to carbon neutral steel production vs China https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iy63PEgmm8w https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iy63PEgmm8w I am not against regulation and safety, I think we should all have clean air and water safe medicine and good food. The only way for us in the west to get that however is to pay the cost. If we aren't willing to pay the cost then what we are doing is robbing our children, not only of a future with a clean safe earth but also of their economic future as while their peers in lax countries will have to deal with the pollution they will also have work and knowledge.
