They are *very* sophisticated and there is NO WAY you can stop them doing whatever they choose to do. They also control the entire functioning of the world, so attacking them is a bit like attacking the Golden Goose. You fuck with them and no more eggs.

It's a FACT. Now if you were a serious business person (which you have proven you are not) and had a decent understanding of economics, you wouldn't have come up with a statement like that in the first place.
If we weren't exporting jobs and importing cheaps goods. You would be spot on.

The fact is there's nothing to stop more jobs and wealth leaving the West. No Golden Goose, no eggs.
