Journalism / "buy you are not"
English term or phrase: "buy you are not"
I have come across the following term in an exam for Traductor Intérprete Jurado, Spain,
2001. Given previous exams, I'm wondering whether this is a typo or a deliberate mistake and should read “but you are not”.

The full text is as follows:

"But that was old-style globalisation, and what we have now is different beast, a time in which your money
is welcome anywhere in the world, buy you are not."
