It definitely seems like having Trump in power suits the rich and powerful tech lobby just fine, that's for sure

Thats’s the trump pitch, that supporting him is defecting in a prisoners dilemma, but from where I stand it looks like he’a shrinking the pie by damaging America through ineptitude faster than he’s increasing the fraction of the pie available to all but his closest cronies.
Well that's the prisoner's dilemma. No matter whether you defect or not, the other guy still does.
(((4,4), (0, -10)) ((-10, 0), (-20, -20)))

if you want to sell a product that looks like defect but sucks for everyone, lying and saying “its a prisoners dilemma, don’t be a sucker” is a remarkably effective technique.

Of course you need explosive reactive armor on your car! imagine if you get in a crash and the other bastard has it and you don’t

That is the strangest thing, to me
