Essentially, the article is saying that if you could save money by buying a physical product from a foreign country, domestic businesses would suffer.
Those conditions exist today with the ability to buy things from China, and all of the accompanying downsides will apply to buying something from Europe. It takes weeks instead of days to ship overseas at acceptable rates. Who do you call to complain/return/get service? Do they even speak English? Does this product meet safety standards? Do I even have legal standing to sue the company if I am defrauded/injured?
All of these go away buying domestically, and are not a fair trade off for a marginally lower price.
