    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

      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.

        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.

            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.

        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.

          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.
