6. Of course, the free trade shills will think that as a feature, not a bug

The US' working class goes down ( sharply ) and the 3rd-world working class goes up marginally. To them, it all works out great on paper....in several generations. Of course the corporate largesse from rent seeking and labor arbitrage happens RIGHT NOW.

That's the elephant in the room the corporate concubines in the business media ( and DU ) studiously ignore...and create more of a disturbance in their ignoring. Hence their shrillness.

FTA shills: I'm calling you out. You know who you are.
