No, because in a Free Market the one who takes the right risks wins. The one who must validate all of their sources of supply with some kind of comfortable expectation (a degree) - loses.
An example of this would be noticing a demand for ActiveMan Cardigan Velcro Fleece Vests. Sure, you could expect that the consumer would prefer the Vest that was put together by his neighbor and his community. But in a Free Market, the capitalist who took the risk by flying to China to establish relationships with sweatshops in order to sell the vests for $3 less, proved that the consumer doesn't give a shiat about their neighbors.
The losers are now the protectionist isolationist companies and consumers who insisted on domestic manufacturing. They wanted to pay their community a livable wage because it made them feel good, but they ignored that the Free Market ignores "feelings" (treating your neighbors decently without any economic reason to do so is nothing but liberal communism).
Do you see the beauty of the Free Market? Things equal out naturally - an invisible hand controls everything! Quit your socialist defense contractor jobs and join me in Free Market bliss!!
