FWIW I'm in the process of "retiring" at 33 on a farm I bought in Georgia :). I'm doing fine, I'm sure my actual children will do just fine as well but I'm talking about as a political stance that's what I'd like to see here in this country.
In particular where I am now in Georgia there's hundreds of thousands of acres of land held by the government through tax incentives that is sitting around doing literally nothing (conservation easements). Timber that we could be putting to use building houses for people but instead the land is 'horded'. People do nothing with their land because competing with the world as a whole - a world that doesn't share our human rights considerations - is impossible to do with the currency difference.
At a point where you set up that kind of agreement which by necessity eliminates entirely some businesses - you're creating job gaps. Can those gaps be navigated? Sure - but to be blunt there's some people out there who are only going to be productive when they have more of a selection of manual labor jobs that pay a living wage. Tarriffs were removed and unemployment increased and for blue collar workers in this country their wages have stagnated against inflation and wealth has concentrated into a smaller group of people (who don't spend said wealth...at least not here).
