Hey, freetraders, explain to me again how outsourcing my spinning [View All]

and selling my spinning wheel to someone else helps me provide warm clothing for my family? In the short term, it may free some of my time and I may be able to convince the entity to which I've outsourced my industry to give me a cheaper product. What happens if that entity decides it has all the spinning wheels in the world and can command any price it wants? Or if there is a disruption in the trade between me and that entity brought on by say, a crazy president who thinks he's a king starting a war that affects trade everywhere? I've lost my technology and maybe don't have the permission of stupid government to use it because it might affect some weird little law someone passed somewhere to facilitate trade in his neck of the woods. How does this really protect my family? I've lost my ability to be self-sufficient in times of disaster. I've sold my cow for a handful of beans that are just beans, not magical beans. I only get beans from that plant, not gold.
