Unless you're older, and you work in an industry that's moving offshore, and as a practical matter you're not going to be able to move into part of the economy with better prospects.
I'm not disputing that free trade is, on the whole, beneficial. I'm saying that the benefits ought to be distributed better. The government should do more to help those who lose out.
