    Sorry, but I feel 2014 should be replaced with 1980, 2018 should be replaced with 2000… Maybe 1990. But the whole monetisation thing started loooonngg before 2025.

      I just listened to War is a Racket by General Smedley D Butler. It’s 40 minutes long and very insightful.

      Bankers monetize the lives of soldiers to protect private investments. If they put a price on blood there’s nothing they won’t monetize.
