    American business owners are very dumb. They will pay $10 in capex to save $1 in labor. And they will spend $100 in marketing to salvage slop that cost them $1 to produce.

    But when you’re playing a rigged game, you can afford to play stupid. Just so long as you maintain a monopoly on violence, you can always steal back your losses down the line.
