"The cut-all-costs approach has a problem: there is always someone in a poor country ready to work for lower wage. Being competitive this way means making workers poorer and poorer."
How does giving work to someone who wants it make them poorer?
If someone is willing to work for a lower wage, then that person needs the work worse. Right? Shouldn't we always give the work to that person? Then both parties benefit the most? So you are saying that instead we should give the work to people who will only do it for a higher wage, and therefore, do not need the work as much? Why?
Because the the poorer people who will do the job for less are not Americans and don't matter?
I think you mean "Being competitive this way means enriching poor workers in shithole countries instead of enriching (by a smaller marginal factor btw) 1st-world citizens of socialist democracies and leaving the poor workers in the fields where they belong". There are many people who will agree with you on that, so you should just say what you mean.
