And now that I think of it, there's a certain Dutch American who has already earned a fortune by trading Opium in China, now retired.
But I wonder if economic collapse might cause him enough hardship to force his return to China, soon.
You might remember him?

Who does he remind us of?

Interesting that a Puritan family would have no scruples about selling opium to the Chinese.
Also interesting that opium contributed to the wealth of the family who my crystal ball tells me might reach high office in the distant future.

Looks like a cross between FDR and Bill Clinton
