Not really irrational and unjustifiable. Whenever one buys from a boutique artisan one is supporting some American at a (presumably) living wage. Now it's true that not everyone can afford to buy like that, but if you can, why not do it? Are you arguing that buying from American crafters, for example, does not support Americans working for a living wage? Are you arguing it is irrational to support Americans at a living wage? And if it is irrational to want to support Americans who want to earn a living wage, just how do you expect people in the US to make a living wage? Or are you ok with wages here coming down to match those in China?
