    You really live in an imperial bubble.

    Colonial capitalism captures countries in one way or another and keeps wages depressed in those countries so that the finance sector can extract wealth. Non-wealthy people in the imperial core live in relative privilege off the table scraps.

    Your argument only works when you forget about the rest of the world and discount imperial hegemony.
