aight ima go eat some spaghetti

Fuck relying on the rest of the world, create your own product and build an empire

Good luck with that autarky

Conquest

It’s doomed

Autarky very based

Take over every country

You don’t have the natural resources nor the tooling engineers to make such a thing happen

China is close to being a Autarky though, yeah?

Enslave the rest of the world

Good luck posting on discord when Taiwan isn’t around to bake your silicon

yeah the thing is it floods the market with cheap products from us which kills local businesses there and it also causes human rights violations, while here we are reliant on nations half a world away

Hm?

anyone want some lays

"Flooding the market with cheap products" sounds more like relying on imports from shit like China no?

Apparently you can do it all yourself so ... good luck powering your phones without Chile’s lithium salts

im going to the kitchen to get some chips

anyone want a bowl of lays

You need the rest of the world like it or not

World war 3 lets go

Fuck it, just nuke the assholes

so nobody wants some chips?

you should look up the results of the 1st world sending free clothes to countries in africa

Lays suck

Instead of some pie in the sky dream of hyper nationalist autarky, focusing on equitable free trade is much better for economic development

you do realize countries can still trade without it being "Free trade" also since when is chile a 3rd world country?

Idk, since when is China a third world country?

They treat people horribly to be sure but

They are the worlds second largest GDP

That’s hardly third world

they also have the largest population

and GDP has it's problems

So does GDP per capita

We don’t really have a unified human development index,

And if we did, the US probably wouldn’t even be first world TBH

we’d be barely scraping by if anything

I like that

I’ll save it

im not a beer lover im just alcoholic 😦
