"Hey, sorry we spent decades destabilizing your global region to keep your markets ripe for the exploitation and private profit of our capitalists... kinda... ok not really. We would and probably will do that again at some point.
But hey, wanna crash on our couch? Because now our capitalists are more interested in diluting our domestic workforce to suppress domestic wages so, you know, win-win!"

I'm for us doing this, it's something rather than nothing after what we've done to them. Just be aware, it's a good thing being done for the wrong, opportunistic reasons, conveniently flooding the workforce just as labor gains bargaining power, diminishing it, just as the Fed seeks, as they consider an employment market with significant labor leverage "unhealthy." Crazy how so many Americans honestly still believe the Fed cares about anything beyond making their rich friends richer at everyone else's expense. I'm of the opinion motivations matter.
If you aren't a meaningful shareholder, you're just livestock to them.
