Haha no. The international market is not a competitive market. It’s a syndicate, funded by zero percent loans of countries that accept US Aid. Also that syndicate does not follow US laws, such as the definition of fraud and bribery. It’s no different from the chip industry, if we let foreign competitors it will lower the cost of domestic work. they’d price the US out of business. Then they’d have the ability to control the rate of US port expansion or even function (Natl Sec. issue). Any study of the Panama Canal work will show this. We cannot chase this illusive low cost solution, we need a holistic approach that pays a living local wage to run a functioning society.
