They’re right

WHAT’S THE POINT OF EXPORTING SHIT YOU IDIOT WHY WOULD A COUNTRY DO IT IF THEY HAD TO PAY FOR IT

Yeah this is grade school level reasoning telling you that it obviously doesn’t work that way.

A country’s aluminum exports for example aren’t extra aluminum they want to get rid of because it’s junking up their basements and America is 1800-got-junk taking it off their hands at cost. It’s a fucking series of material production companies in a different country. They too are based on capitalism and they too require profits in order to function.

If you could afford a pair of these “chopines,” you could keep up out of the muck while walking about.

Reminds me of Monty Python.

“I could tell he’s a king!” “Really, how?” “Well, he ain’t all covered in shit now is he?”
