And whilst exports are an integral part of Japan's economy, you must remember that they themselves purchase their own products and services.

Oh no! We'll need TF bootleggers!

Must. Resist. Ordering. New Animated waves. From. BBTS.

Although I was glad to have imported close to 100% of what I missed out on when I started collecting when our dollar was at Allspark power. Right now it's just a few energons short to give me enough transforming power to convert my AUD into USD.

You were in Parliament. wow, who would of thought.

ROLLER FOR PM!

I do agree sort of with that though. I wouldn't cut ourselves off entirely, but Exports and Imports should be more of a thing on the side. Not relied on, and set up so suddenly stopping exports would have almost no negative effect. It really would have protected us form the American's problems.
