If consumers and small businesses weren’t ordering in the first place, then there would be nothing to “take advantage.”

Exactly. Don’t blame exporters; nothing ships without an order.

Same with illegal immigration: Trump & others could hire only legal locals at their hotels/resorts/farms - but don’t. So we go in circles about how to “solve” it.

Unpopular, but same with drugs: dealers/cartels aren’t forcing anyone to snort cocaine or do heroin. They do horrific things otherwise, but users share blame for the actual drug use.
