I could make the argument we've lost a lot more in terms of quality of life through competing with these quasi-slave workers than we've gained in cheap consumer goods. We can look at the cost of living in fixed expenses, how we've become a two-person earning household instead of a one person, how much we've lost culturally in this never ending quest to bring cheap labor across the border etc. I think it's been a disaster tbh but to each their own.

Yea I realize that but I’m talking about people actually being able to afford to buy phones tv’s appliances etc that wouldn’t be able to afford them if they were made in the USA.
