I think you objectify a lot of "they" in this and a conversation about that will probably descend into ad hom rapidly. Suffice to say I agree with almost nothing you have said here, except it's true an awful lot of cheap production economies have shocking human rights abuses and low to no labour laws.

You appear quite bitter towards your own state as well as mine and everyone else's. There's a lot of "everybody lies" on the table. I do not think all bilateral trade is based on lies and I do not think there is only a zero sum winner and loser outcome on the table, Implicit in your response.
