    Jesus Christ. I feel like I’m back on reddit with a bunch of assholes. The original person was posting about tariffs being anti-free market. I made a post saying it’s not a fair comparison due to several issues. I never said the US was fantastic or some utopian paradise. Your reply is also an insincere comparison. Migrant workers in the US are often undocumented workers from a different country (Don’t try to say I’m excusing their treatment). The article I posted was about Chinese citizens being migrant workers in China. Even then, this dumb ass argument is a strawman to my original point. But for some reason, people on here have a weird hard on for China or the US. It’s fucking ridiculous.

      Right, you’re arguing US and China labor protections arent comparable and Ive been making the case theyre very comparable.
