I believe in free trade but itโ€™s very dangerous to rely on one place for one thing. Weโ€™ve already seen this with PPE from China. Actually everything from China. But I donโ€™t think free trade means lacking redundancy. Redundancy is just smart in any situation where you canโ€™t afford a critical failure. One is none and two is one.

Honestly Free trade is never free. There's always a cost, its always hidden to the end user. Its peddled as a fake salvation when in reality it does nothing to help both sides. It often leads to one-sided issues and exploitation.

Even the late Milton Freedman who was a proponent of free trade always made mention of the benefit cost. That in reality both sides should strive to make trade equitable more than free. As access to both markets domestic and international are a benefit to a free market.

Well I guess what I was thinking more in terms of free trade was free is in freedom of speech not freeze and beer. So less regulate trade but even then there needs to be some regulations
