    No, I agree with that, but I believe that inability to think beyond “I got mine” belies a lack of intellect, or education, or both.

      Yes, but generally an economic welfare is derived from exploiting other countries in one way or another. If you aren’t willing to act on such moral depravity, someone else will be and outcompete you. People are able to justify anything to themselves morally, so the “I got mine” attitude makes sense to any sociopath out there.
