American Empire in full schizo mode:
It’s been totally patriotic for companies to outsource production to China to fuck over American labor, while empowering Chinese ruling elite.

American Morality has always been based on the profit motive & that the ruling class has always known & made no bones about it. The working class rubes of yore knew the score unlike the know nothing post middle class identity politics rubes of today's fake democracy.

If the Chinese screw American businesses, why not academia? The Chinese like cheap things too and stealing is way cheaper.
