[quote=FlyerInHi]NSR, by your reasoning,we should have federal laws preventing california companies from moving to Texas, or moving from northern industrial states to southern, right to work states.

We develop advantages by creating new products and services. Can’t count on business remaining static.
Plus to need trade agreement so we can shape global market forces. Without trade agreements, we’re only left with market forces. Without TPP, our intellectual property is not protected and each country is free to make their own rules.[/quote]
Sorry Brian, no cake and eat it too. You can’t buy a car that doesn’t meet California emissions standards and register it here. Cheap labor, IMHO, is the red herring. Whether it’s China manufacturing or Texas. The real goal is to escape regulations, whether environmental or labor.
Or should we allow ourselves to buy anything?
(And I’m well aware that the primary difference between the CARB-compliant catalytic converter and the non-CARB compliant catalytic converter is one paid $20,000 plus testing fees to get the label and one didn’t.)
