As these other countries become more wealthy and lucrative in and of themselves due to the sheer industriousness of their citizenry rather than trying to “extract value” through shameless and country-destroying corruptive exploitation, we won’t have much of a reason to look up to places like Jane Street. I don’t particularly care what the interns have wrought because quite frankly the company is a parasitic entity that should not be looked up to as an example, but as something to immediately investigate as a nest of illegal activity that leaves the country worse off.
Am I surprised they were cut off? No, not at all. They should be cut off in the West altogether.
