[NewsWithViews] Mark Twain once wrote that reality always trumps fiction, because, contrary to fiction, reality doesn’t follow any rules. He was right.

If 50 years ago a science-fiction writer would have written a novel in which the Soviet Union turns into a capitalist country and American changes into a carbon-copy of what the Soviet Union was under the Communists’ rule, no publisher would have printed it, because he would have considered the story too farfetched to be credible.

Nevertheless, this is close to what has happened. Let’s see.

#3  The future of capitalism is a place where money talks and bullshit walks, skin in the game or no game at all. Politicians and hand out types hardest hit.

#2  Idiot. Got some news for the author. Just like Stalin, Putin owns every piece of property, wealth and person in Russia and can take it away at his whim.
