Ferengi rules of acquisition

  1. War is good for business

  2. Peace is good for business

The Chinese do not like war, it hampers trade. They need raw materials and energy. Both are more difficult due to the current wars.

On the other hand, the auto and battery industry in China was operation on negative margins until March. The war has rescued the Chinese EV industry.

I don’t like war yet wars fascinate me. Wars shape civilizations whether we like them or not and being on the winning side is best.

I remember Social Studies classes in early school & high school. It was 90% wars. Athens and Sparta. The Ottoman Empire. Egyptian Pharaohs. World War II. The Spanish Empire. Britain!

I really thought “Is that All There Is?” (And wrote a song for Peggy Lee :wink:

But it’s true, those are easily containerized snapshots of civilizations, and how they lived or died. It’s so icy hard to paint a picture of life on the farm in the early 1800’s, or how a peasant might have survived in the 1600’s.

Yes, there were a few other things: plagues, Romans at the Colosseum, that sort of thing, but it was war, war war. Meanwhile, I am now fascinated with it as well. It is so destructive, I can only imagine how much further ahead the human race would be if there was a way to eliminate the violence and cooperate somehow. Ha! I make a joke. That will never, never happen, sadly.
