  1. Gladiators: Cool. Do they even have “demonstrations” of gladiatorial fights in the Colosseum? That’d be cool to see.

    IMF: “mistakes were made”. Many suffered, few benefited. No one responsible will loose anything-like their job.

    Forced work: “Either a person rules himself exclusively, or someone else rules him completely or in part, and the latter is called ‘slavery'”.

    1. IMF:
      “The report said the whole approach to the eurozone was characterised by “groupthink” and intellectual capture. They had no fall-back plans on how to tackle a systemic crisis in the eurozone – or how to deal with the politics of a multinational currency union – because they had ruled out any possibility that it could happen.”

      Ha.

      1. If anything bad happens because of this in the next three months (August, September, October), is it the type of bad thing that results in interesting pictures/headlines?

    2. Even if someone did lose their job, that class of person is so rarified that they’d have a new job capable of maintaining the expected lifestyle within a few weeks.

      It’s hard to punish an individual elite when the rest are so willing to pick them up once the dust settles.

      1. Still, it would be interesting to see “historical reenactments” of games in the place they took place, whether or not it was fake then or not.

  2. I wonder how Mimi Soltysik & Angela Nicole Walker would explain this slavery? I guess it’s necessary for the revolution?

  3. Ancient underground tunnel that links Colosseum with remains of gladiatorial training barracks could be restored with donation from Kuwait

    I’m sure some of the sponsors have also been in a Turkish prison.

  4. I think there’s something missing from this analysis of Venezuela sending people out into the fields to work.
    How is this materially different from any other employer assigning any other employee to a new position temporarily to meet shifting demands?

    I’ve been thinking more and more that AI is full of sh!t.
