I'm going to be researching the bits and pieces of this over the coming days. Thanks for posting. It does seem to be a pretty good model for explaining all of the weird, dysfunctional shit going on. kleinbl00 kinda nailed it, I think, in pointing out that it's impossible to figure out where the balance between government and business should lie when nobody's playing by the rules.

Or at least a bat. Or a lab accident, dunno. We may never know. Welp, back to my mandarin lessons
