    > rather unethical

    Just wait until you hear about "uber for nurses" and other "innovative" and "disruptive" approaches to labor exploitation that is coming soon to Europe and the UK as the leaders capitulate to removing the regulations and safeguards we currently enjoy protecting us from US companies just to avoid having to temporarily deal with tariffs. Ask the average European about whether or not they would rather temporarily deal with any economic hardship the tariffs may introduce in a society that has safety nets in place and has experience with dealing with hardship vs avoiding temporary discomfort now in exchange for the inevitable stripping of any and all consumer and labor protections for you, your children, and however many generations are left before the planet bursts into flames (ironically because of the same bad actors). I don't know about you, but I'd rather deal with the former to support the greater good and keep this off our shores.
