There’s money to be made … It’s why we can’t have anything nice (and also why we have nice things at least at the start).

There was also tea at stake.
China enjoyed a trade surplus with Europe, trading porcelain, silk, and tea in exchange for silver. Trade between China and Britain was heavily imbalanced in China’s favor. As Britain’s demands for tea, silk, and porcelain exceeded Chinese demands for British goods, British merchants started exporting opium in India. This shift reversed the balance of trade.
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 3 weeks ago:
Just finished Assassin’s Creed Directors Cut after getting it free or cheap from somewhere. Was nice to revisit something I’d originally played (and abandoned) many years ago.
I’ve since played a few of the others and was nice to contrast both the pureness of the original and the enhancements of the later.
