    I mean, dystopian fiction has warned us about this for decades. Some of those companies are already more powerful than many nations, all we’re still missing is the private corporate militaries. But something tells me we’re real close to that reality as well.

    As soon as more power can no longer be bought with cold hard cash, physical violence and power projection will inevitably follow.

        Not built but they’re restarting and leasing the Three Mile Island reactor. You know, the one that almost caused Chernobyl 2.0 by partial meltdown.

        What could possibly go wrong?
