Short term and long term we need to make a level field. That involves
making trade agreements that have a minimum set of protections for
workers. That is within the perview of our lawmakers. Otherwise it is a
global race to the bottom for all workers and we will all suffer.

Not all the people will suffer. The CEO's will rake in even more money.

I will accept the rules that you feel necessary to your freedom. I am free,
no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them;
if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I
alone am morally responsible for everything I do.
