    Economists drooling over the thought of a big war in the “third world,” too blinded by the thought of quarterly profits to realise that that isn’t what a Third World War implies.

      Everyone will be clamoring for non-governmental currencies like bitcoin in a post apocalyptic scenario. Unlike nonexistent governmental forces, etherium smart contracts have enforcement mechanisms built-in.

    Drooling fingers, panic buttons

    Playing with missiles like they’re toys

    And there’s easy money, easy jobs

    Especially when you build the bombs

    That blow big cities off the map

    Just guess who profits when we build 'em back up?

        What if we trick them into thinking the nukes are dropping so they all get in their bunkers and never come out?

        yeah but what I am saying is that those plans won’t work they fundamentally underestimate the sheer power of the bombs being discussed

        can’t express enough that when I said everyone would die that was meant to be a cause for concern

    Yes the planet got destroyed. But for a beautiful moment in time we created a lot of value for shareholders.

    My brain is so fried I read “third world war” like a war in the “third world.” They mean WW3. The Economist is a monster factory.

    The only reason we haven’t had a Third World War is because the bourgeoisie and their political hirelings no there would be no way for them to avoid the destruction.
