decoupled

"comparative advantage" fuels Free Trade
Ricardo showed how all can benefit
by optimizing where our goods are made
deploying effort with the keenest wit
but wages can't stay fixed when labor's scant
and when it's too abundant, tend to fall
until they unionize, the workers can't
leave penury; they're up against the wall
that "giant sucking sound" fell hard on Flint
where union wages built the Middle Class
when AutoWorkers failed to take the hint
whole factories were turned out on their ass
upheaval threatens all they once held dear
and Fascists ride the politics of fear
