I suppose for the same reason we had to create NAFTA (not an endorsement BTW). If you're wealthy and have no markets how long do you stay wealthy? If we're in decline, then somewhere in the next 20 years they won't have a market.

But I was just looking forward to a decent retirement gig, where all I had to do was put stuff together... and plan my pee breaks better.
