It is now five years later and the disparity between the US and China in this respect has only gotten worse. But hey, that’s a good thing right?

Subtle propaganda to lay the blame for infrastructure issues on unionization and labor rights.
Indeed, he’s a Cato institute fellow. A Koch brother funded “think tank”.
Pieces like this are intended to move the focus of the conversation. It’s sheep in wolf clothing shit.
“It’s such a good thing that labor rights and powerful unions stop us from being competitive with China. It’s so good. If you wanted to stop that you’d have to undermine labor rights, which would be awful. Please don’t undermine labor rights, that would be ruthless and authoritarian. Please please please don’t be ruthless and authoritarian against unions, like obviously it would make America better and able to compete with China which would be good but me, Cato fellow member, I just love unions so I’d hate it if you did this necessary thing :(“
Nah, let’s add fuel to the fire. Skip unions and move straight to a state owned enterprise.
