    It turns out that off-shoring your economy to a political rival is a really dumb thing for a capitalist to do.

      off-shoring your economy to a political rival

      If you offshore your economy, what prevents the recipient from becoming a rival?

      We’ve offshored to all the BRICS countries and they’ve all become our rivals was a result

        Well a funny thing about off-shoring your economy is that it really just means exploiting people in countries that can’t stand up to your imperial might. So it inevitably creates enemies. Now you have no economy at home AND the rest of the world hates you! Double stupidity!

        I wish, I wish we would bring out the guillatine for these greedy treasonous capitalist fucks.

        We’ve lost so much because of them
