I've got two words for the future, young man.

Political economy.

Political economy. You betcha.

How 'bout a water import or export monopoly? How 'bout the pot concession at your local shopping center?

Yasee, the feds can make or break WHOLE industries with a single reg... So get in on the ground floor now before it fills up with favorite sons, flakes and favors.

Regs, taxes, grants, enforcement. It's a whole new world.

Run a data-mine snooping medical records... For fun and profit naturally. You do stats, they do collections and hiding.

Plus the third world is interested in the easy way of curing things. Big-time, if ya see one.

Maybe sell lists of grant-getting industries to China. The easy wipe-outs.

Or keep private info that's too touchy to save at home.

Of course the whole sector is infested with politicians and bribery, It's a place created by cannibals, for cannibals and the market is gonna be the same.

At least you can get the competition taxed out of existence with no great sweat. Or reg'd out. Or out-grant them, if nothing else.

Ah, the power of free money. More thieves than customers, but that's pretty close to normal, eh?

Especially if you've got water for desert Vegas.

Political Economy, boy!

Become a pol made-man... even if there are regs against you, nobody enforces them. A REAL get-out-of-jail-free card, eh?

Well, nobody but the bag-man; you learn to hide any cash-flow from him.

And the retiring parachute-generals looking for easy-street.

The zombies are bonus.
