So you get a Nobel prize for proving Benjamin Franklin right (who was rephrasing a more ancient saying).

Charlie Munger recalled it in 2003 as “Where there is no bread, there is no law; where there is no law, there is no bread.”

It's going to be some easy picking if more figure that out ...

Now remember that there's an entire current in Silicon Valley that advocates against rule of law, at least when applied to them. Oh, and a felon taking some liberties with law sitting at the White House.

Yeah, I think reminding people that you don't get prosperity without rule of law is a good idea.

Not a good enough idea, apparently, given that what you said in the first paragraph is happening.
