  • It’s much cheaper (and better for psychological conditioning to the Policed States of America) to just hire the cheapest community college dropouts with a pant size bigger than their IQ than it is to attract, train, and maintain a respectable (read: “for the community”) police force. If the US adopted similar requirements for their police as a country like Germany, I’d imagine we’d lose well over half of our force instantly, with most of the rest quitting soon after being asked to not shoot people at the first sign of noncompliance.

    Not necessarily although I hadn’t heard of Saudi Aramco until your comment.

    In western terms, the Keiretsu combined vertical and horizontal integration; only a handful of companies owned almost every level of production and had “gentleman’s agreements” to avoid heavy competition with one-another. What makes the Keiretsu unique is that the companies were chosen and consolidated by the US government and structured to be sympathetic to America and unlikely to rebuild the Imperial Army. Former fighter plane manufacturers were made into electric keyboard makers, rifle companies became borers for motors for small cars, etc. It’s why you get scenarios like the OP meme
