I wonder if there could ever be a tariff policy that is automatically proportional some measure of worker/environmental exploitation. I know tariffs are current very unpopular, but maybe they can be used for good?

That will be a great solution. Tariffs based on some measure of worker/environmental exploitation rather than trade imbalance.

Although, it would incentivize countries to cover up evidence of exploitation in some “metric becomes the target” sense. Might be bad.
