#4 Without Western selfishness, overconsumption, and willingness to absorb imports, Malaysia would be a starveling struggling chaos of empty stomachs and clenched fists.

It was the continued willingness of the developed nations to let them export their way out of their messes.

The good elder statesman can go fuck himself.

#5 I was in our local restaurant a half-hour or so ago, the news crawl said that banks are not lending because they're unable to lend.
