Or, you know, profits.

Capitalists only care about profits.

I live in a country where we have many protectionist tariffs and the locally produced goods are expensive and lower quality compared to imported goods which guarantees profits at the expense of consumers.

I don't understand why people still believe in this day and age that wages will ever increase despite data showing the opposite for literal decades.

If you frequent an American form as a non-American, you'll have noticed by now that for most Americans it's as if the rest of the world doesn't really exist. You can talk all you want about how the thing they're proposing has been done in other countries with terrible results. Or the thing they're saying it's inviable exists in many other countries and it just works. You'll be ignored either way
