Stoller's schtick is monopoly. That's his focus, that's his expertise, that's his book. From his perspective, supply chain issues are going to cause a great awakening over the fact that Amazon is 80% low-grade Chinese crap. I don't know that I agree.

From a machiavellian perspective, a lengthy adventure with Coronavirus has the potential to suppress voter turnout amongst the olds and those who can't vote absentee - in other words, Republicans. This was basically the model pursued by the Rajneeshis.

The premise of the book and the perspective are neat. Wishlisted.

Fall of Democratic party sounds wonk, but will have to read and find out.

We may be saved from a blue future after all.
