Mobsters will always try to gain and then enforce a monopoly with violence. They don’t want any competition. Mobsters want to control the price in high margin business.
Depending on how they operate, they will also scam people, sell low value real estate at high prices, etc. Being organized means they are much harder to catch.
The comments from Las Vegas are about the same. It ran a lot better when the mob was in charge. Now the corps are “optimizing revenue” everything into ruin.
Mobsters (and other organized businessmen) prefer for their goals and means to be impregnable for outside spectators. Meaning we don’t know what’s happening. Also a much better job for their own ends, not yours.
Computation supply chains cracking are a problem, yes.
You know what else is a problem? Those who have a lot of reserve resources and reserve supply chains.
I would expect for USA to start playing Hitler in a decade or so, and it won’t be the “inefficient Hitler” trope usually ascribed to USA. It’ll be the “Hitler having listed all possible targets and eliminated them in under an hour when the global boogaloo starts” trope, the “Hitler having predicted all his possible opponents, as in separate people, down to every decision 10 years forward” kind of trope, the “evil Hari Seldon” kind of trope. The point is clear I hope.
All delivered to us by computation which most of the world uses inefficiently, but with proper understanding much more powerful. Anyway. I suppose it’s too late to change anything.
EDIT: And also “when the global boogaloo starts” kinda omits the fact that it has probably already ended.
You may actually be right, I haven’t really watched the show as I don’t have Apple TV. But it annoys me to no end they’d use the namez say it’s based on the books, and do something different rather than an adaptation.
I thought about it, and I must admit I haven’t read it (yet). Yet, the TV series adaptation, it looks like the latest episode was like WTAF?! I mean, I won’t be surprised it would be a completely different adaptation.
Decades of nice safe cooperation and suddenly everythings fucked and now we can’t trust eachother.
Its what happens when you let the mob run a country and it runs around smashing everything
Why are people making it out like the direction the US has gone started with Trump?
Trade and inter-country cooperation and commerce weren’t being shaken down as hard before Trump.
Oh right, that’s the surprise. Not the warmongering and murder for capital gains. My bad for misunderstanding.
Commerce doesn’t give a shit. The article is about commerce. Don’t be pissed at me for the way the world works.
Nah. It happens when you let an idiot run things.
Mobsters are still organized businessmen. Just criminal ones. They’d do a much better job.
Elect a clown, expect a circus
You think it could least be funny
It is funny.
Your right are getting eroded or attempts are being made, tensions the world over are rising and everything is getting more expensive for everyone.
But the memes are Booming.

Hey, we’re yet to discover whether Hari Seldom would become a villain! With this end of the last season, you’d never know!
The books, however have been out for somewhere between 70 to 30 years
Isn’t the show unrelated to the books beyond the setting and some characters?

I didn’t say a good job.
