“The free flow of people and goods” is so funny to me because somehow it always ends up only being the goods that can cross the borders freely. The people must stay in their cages to keep wages low so they will make the cheap goods.

The bourgeoisie can cross borders freely too, and that’s the only ones that count as “people” to neoliberals. Skilled migrants they can feel good about, and kids in cages, the neoliberal way.
