So, just some advice, avoid Tales of the Malazan Book of the Fallen at all costs. I’m totally okay with not being spoon fed every detail of what’s happening as I read, but that’s not for everyone either. I first read them when I was a teen some 30 years ago and never found it hard to keep track of anything. I was too eager to find out what was going to happen next! The whole story is flush with character nuance so I could usually grasp who was saying/thinking what once things got going

I have. I like em too. I don’t neglect what came before because there is something new.

This is just a sad take. The writing is brilliantly grounded in reality for a fantastical story. It’s fricken weird AF, but many of us are here for that. It’s not for everyone, and that’s okay if you don’t like it, but calling it poorly written is infantile.

I have made nic vape before. It is suspended in a glycol/glycerin compound. That’s what’s in a cartridge. I believe other nic vape products are not, but it is very much available.

Negatively. By stealing and hoarding resources? By destabilizing world politics? By driving and supporting war across the globe? Most earthlings are unaffected by these things directly. America is not that important.

You are very wrong about only weed vapes using an oil, but that’s not the point anyways, so…

Na, juuls use a salt crystal delivery system, vapes use an oil base concentrate.

And we’d all be much better off for it.

Except he is using a playbook built by other people that we’ve only seen the gist of. This is manufactured, not eventual. He is also removing all consumer and worker protections. There is more too it, but keep turning a blind eye to just “more of the same” and see where that gets ya. I am saying the same thing as you, but I am alluding to it being a byproduct and not the simple end goal. They want housing under their thumb as well as worker protections and healthcare. There is malicious intent there, I’m sure of it. It is more than the accumulation of wealth.

Time will tell. It’s all about the layers, but if you look at the current situation at face value, it makes very little sense, ergo something more sinister is a foot 3-4 steps down the road.

IMO there is something more at work here. I believe he is collapsing the economy on purpose and evaporating everyone’s savings, forcing them back into the labour force under any means. They want to go back to factory towns where workers have zero agency and are at the mercy of their employers. That is the end goal here, the rest of it is just the hand waving show to keep everyone distracted.

So are the rich. Let’s make sure we take out the right problems.
