Quote:The displacement of workers as individual firms discard them causes social hardships. This reduces US public support for helping developing countries and increases public demand for aggressive trade policy, especially toward countries that appear to make it difficult for the US to export products and yet enjoy a substantial trade surplus with the United States.
In the above context, how do you understand the "plurality" of the phrase "individual firms"? All the firms in the US? Or some firms? Or few firms?
The specific firms which discard the workers who are as a result displaced.
