I'm strongly against tariffs, but when it comes to labor, I believe we should not allow companies to hire or contract out labor in countries which do not follow US labor laws. It's a race to the bottom otherwise, an unfair competition which hurts US workers and doesn't truly solve the problems faced by those in the other country.

And what of that? I struggled to find work in software development in spite of claims of worker shortages. It's only due to my being stubborn and having a decent safety net that I could shrug off participating on freelancing sites. Not everyone can hold out for a better offer.
