re: Why doesn’t Rand Paul mention what we all know to be true?

Again, this is his issue.

I don’t know what goes down over there, MI, but I watched this documentary (could have been CCP propaganda) that showed young women that looked to be mid to late teens who left their poor dirt farms and lived in dorms, working 12 hr shifts. They sent the money back home to their families who were very grateful. And they did not seem to be unhappy or coerced, but grateful. Honest work from youth to adulthood does not seem to be either unethical or unwise, imo. Quite the contrary in today’s ‘entitlement’ culture. I had to get up a 4 in the morning, from age 4-5 and fill the feed buckets for my dad who hand milked the cows, and it ingrained a good work ethic in me that has been very useful and profitable. I have watched Docs where very young children must work for their families to survive, some very hard and dangerous and I pray that the coming tidal wave of High Tech can mitigate these hardships. Albeit any form of corporate pseudo child slave labor is an abomination and those who practice it should and will end up on the other side of the coin in their next life.

Pretending you care about child labor in other countries is despicable. You don't care and have never cared.

Rand is a KY puussy. Self serving aw shucks pos.

We should all aspire to have a society that works 12 hour shifts, lives in a tiny room with a roommate, eat cabbage and rice for every meal, and send the pittance leftover to our family who cant even afford the cabbage. To me, that is slave labor

There is no way to compete fairly against that. Especially when the corporation they work for is getting subsidies and protectionist regulations from their government.

Those of you against tariffs are clearly all about "me me me" - patriots you are not

Umm... ya think?

That is fake news. When factory jobs became the norm post WW2, American workers were not living in tiny dorms with roommates and eating worse than modern college students

I think theyre becoming "woke" though it may just be a spell.

So it’s woke now to denounce slavery?

Always knew you were a racist.

The Pauls are naive. They look at how we should act in a perfect world, and that is how they want the US to act regardless of the reality of the situation. They want the US to only act their way regardless of the outcome or actions of others. If the current situation isn't working to your benefit, then double down. You just have to free trade even harder. Your devotion to economic principles will surely persuade those taking advantage of you.

It's a very child-like approach to life. You have to almost be jealous of their innocence as we live in the dirty, ugly real world.
