1. "Local wages - union wages - inflate costs."

Republicanism at its worst. This is "the race to the bottom!"

Will we rise up in indignation and stop this outrage? *crickets chirping*

Here's a thought.

Maybe we need international trade agreements with enforceable labor standards. Other countries could take our government entities and corporations before tribunals and force America to pay decent fair living wages and force us to recognize basic worker rights as human rights - the right of free assembly, the right to collective bargaining, the right to organize, the right to form and join a union...

Just a thought.

We still have 'our American exceptionalism', don't we?
