Who gives a shit? As long as the fat yankee slobs get their lobsters
on the table and the Red Lobster shareholders get their dividends,
what's the problem? Those divers aren't yankees anyway, so why
bother? Free trade is not for nothing, it's to get the stuff the
cheapest way possible for the maximum profit.
