If it is a choice between progress unfettered by concern for your "competitor's labor" or farming berries, I choose berries.
However, I believe there's a middle ground and endeavor to find it. Based on your response it doesn't appear as though you believe a middle ground exists.
- vasco 1y agoChoosing berries (ie not progressing to "protect jobs" - no jobs are protected, we have close to full employment worldwide) is choosing avoidable deaths. Child mortality rate in a "choose berries" world is just one example that makes me triggered by those that have that position. And you get nothing in return for protecting those jobs, as I said, the world is "employed" and we've killed many industries already over the centuries. You're protecting nothing.
- klank 1y agoI believe in, and am searching for the middle ground. I am not interested in discussing hypothetical extremes. I do not believe they are relevant.
- DiggyJohnson 1y agoI think the middle ground is not being concerned about your competitor’s labor, to use my original phrasing.
