free trade

from a european perspective 

mobile phones and computer are cheap 

because they are produced in asia 

and movies are cheap 

because they are produced in usa and europe 

and video games are cheap 

because they are produced in usa, europe and asia 

and loans to buy houses are cheap 

because of money from international markets 

but building houses is expensive 

because work migration is restricted 

and cars are expensive 

because of trade restrictions 

and food is expensive 

because of trade restrictions 

and energy is expensive 

because of trade restrictions 

other parts of the world have done the opposite in some cases

some rich cities in the middle east 

have built many skyscrapers 

because of work migration from asia 

and more free trade would benefit europe 

asia, latin america and africa 

could export more food to europe 

china could export more cheap electric cars to europe 

usa and russia could export more oil and gas to europe 

chinese companies with chinese workers 

could build cheaper nuclear reactors in europe 

chinese companies with chinese workers 

could build cheaper infrastructure in europe 

tariffs and trade restrictions 

could be considered to be a type of warfare 

and warfare lures out unrighteous humans 

europe has been allied with usa for a long time 

and the results have been few 

for both usa and europe 

but if europe traded more 

with russia, iran, china and north korea 

then that could force outcomes 

that could benefit usa 

and the differences between europe and usa 

would lure out unrighteous humans 

free trade leads to increased international trade 

where a lot of money is moved around 

and all that cheese lures out the rats 

you don't hunt rats with a rifle 

you kill rats in a rat trap with cheese as bait
