WE'RE MOVING OUR MANUFACTURING OPERATIONS TO ELBONIA TO SAVE MONEY.

ARE YOU WORRIED ABOUT THE ELBONIAN GOVERNMENT'S REPUTATION?

NAH. I TRY TO STAY OUT OF THE WEEDS.

THEY'RE BUILDING CONCENTRATION CAMPS AND ROUNDING UP DISSENTERS.

THEY INTENIONALLY POISONED A HUNDRED THOUSAND PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY.

THEY ARE HABITUAL STEALERS OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, AND THEY ROUTINELY IGNORE AGREEMENTS THEY HAVE SIGNED.

AND THEY HAVE A WELL-KNOWN GOAL OF WEAKENING OTHER COUNTRIES SO THEY CAN DOMINATE THE WORLD WHY CAN'T YOU JUST ADMIT I'M SAVING MONEY?
