    Yeah, but the capitalist machine is already hooked on it. They’re hooked on the free efficiency gainz.

      The capitalist machine was also hooked on potash and lumber from Canada and labor from Mexico, but here we are.

        And don’t forget Canadian oil and auto parts - those ones are pretty much sector-killing if they died suddenly. Mexico controls the supply of vegetables.

        Really, any idea that the (US) government only cares about money should be dead now, unless you’re willing to introduce massive amounts of conspiracy theory to explain the disconnect.

          Yep. Conspiracy or stupidity. Bold, egocentric stupidity.

            He’s not the first upstart dictator to try for autarky, so I’d also say ideology. There’s lots of things in the equation other than making money, basically.
