In a lot of ways, I fear that won’t be true and it’ll be held up as a shitty example of why misogyny ‘works’
Case in point, they can still sell their opium for a lot of money and use that money to bring in engineers from SEAsia that will risk it for the big money they’re being promised.
They can bring in nurses, etc with the same money, it’s a LOT of a money and unlike Oil, there isn’t a ‘opidollar’ like the ‘petrodollar’
It’s despressing that the right might run and win this shit, I’m just so tired of it.
I hope for all our sakes that you’re wrong, but who knows. I personally dont think importing skilled slave labour is a winning strategy long term, disgruntled engineers aren’t going to be doing their best work.
The other problem is that no matter how bad it goes, they can spend the next 15-20 years blaming their problems on the Americans, so itll be a while before any real introspection occurs.

Absolutely agree how depressing this all is. :(
So do I.
