Foundation. I am a big fan of Asimov's books and the series is rare, slow and in my opinion does not understand the material of origin or the themes it deals with
In the Southeast of America a judge was fairly recently convicted of sending underage boys to a private prison in exchange for kickbacks from that prison. He had been doing it for over a decade. And that’s just one that made the news.
It is obvious that something like this would happen. You cannot create a system with perverse incentives and expect the good faith of those who participate to keep it clean. It is exactly the opposite of the spirit of the American revolution (and the rest of democratic revolutions)
As a European, I wonder what kind of dystopia the concept of a "private prison" fits into. I don't understand how anyone could have imagined that this would end well.
Not always. I'm from Spain, and you can read about how our dictator Francisco Franco ended his life (spoiler alert: his regime lasted from 1939 to 1977).
Unfortunately, the real world is not like a movie where wars are always won by those who defend the most just cause.
I would like to leave this here as a warning, because it seems relevant to me.
But did she read the script before accepting the job or did she just see the check? Because it's true that it wasn't her performance that ruined the movie, but I think the disaster was coming long before filming even started.
This could lead us to a complex discussion about ideology but I believe that Musk is rather an ultra capitalist (what we call ultra liberal in Europe) the repression of the State cares for shit, it only wants tax reduction and disappearance of regulations to the maximum. Trump is a more classic fascist, he wants repression and total control by the State (as long as he is the one who controls the State, obviously). The clash was inevitable, as I said before, reviewing the story will give you the answer
A fascist betraying the hyper-capitalist who supported him to defeat the left. If Musk knew more about history, he could have seen it coming.
