"Ruthless merchant princes?"
^Our biggest headache right now is from the ruthless merchant princes and wacko fundamentalist nutjobs of the Middle East. We've got Ivy League-trained businessmen and religious fanatics to deal with instead of Party apparatchiks.^
Yeah, I stay up all night worrying about "Ivy League-trained businessmen" blowing up buildings in New York.
You want to worry about Ivy League idiots, worry about the ones who have political power, not the ones running companies.
