‘Buying local’ vs. protectionism

Repost this article

I’m in the middle of talking about what my African people need to gain food stability and this World Bank idiot interrupts me — in the most bureaucratic, condescending voice possible —  to say, “Protectionism can get you in a lot of trouble.”

That’s not what I was talking about, but since he brought it up, here is a question you don’t have to answer: Why doesn’t any of these idiots screaming, “If you love your country buy ‘MADE IN USA’” ever get in trouble for preaching protectionism?

And why is it acceptable for liberals foodies to cry, “buy local?”

Funny how we trust me to know what’s good for our American kids at the university but not what is good for my family in Africa.
