14. only some goods are cheaper
sure cheaper TVs, but what about products with finite supply, like real estate? What about products with an inelastic demand, like perscription drugs?

"But things like tvs, computers, etc are cheaper because the production costs have been slashed."

If a corporation slashes production costs, they don't lower the price - they get a higher profit. Now why is it that products and capital can move across borders freely, but the workers who make the products can't? That's not free trade, that's just corporate rule.
