and Destiny said literally everything you said above, about how we should let countries do whatever they're best at to benefit everyone, it's retarded to artificially punish one to let another catch up when they're not equipped for it, not to mention those kinds of jobs can't pay the cost of living in the US anymore while still being competitive globally

his weird off the cuff example was if you have two kids, one is good at making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and the other is good at pouring milk, why would you punish one kid just to let the other catch up in their abilities at the other job when they already had their own specialization and role they could fill

This sounds good in theory in an economic textbook by people like Larry Summers or N Gregory Mankiw, but in practice the "specialization" other countries like China offer is using slave labor and shit conditions to undercut prices to the point that much manufacturing in America is no longer economically viable. It also results in propping up illegitimate regimes such as the CCP and, when combined with de facto open borders in America, it results in us having fewer competitive businesses, fewer good jobs, and an overall lower standard of living that will be even worse for our kids and grandkids.
