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.

Elect a clown, expect a circus

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.

Trade and inter-country cooperation and commerce weren't being shaken down as hard before Trump.
