    I do not I just can’t believe these neolibs are that fucking bold faced about it. Like I get sacrificing one manufacturing industry for another. That’s industrial policy, even if it’s often corrupt. But this is sacrificing a manufacturing industry for its owners. It’s just… stupid. The British crown subsidizing East India company adventuring level stupid.
