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.
Pedaling my bike generator so I can mine bitcoin on a world with no power grid.
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

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