But it isn’t a thing. These valuations are not based on reality anyway. It’s not about cash, it’s about power. Cash is fungible with power but it’s not exactly synonymous.

What’s the point of having princes if you don’t send them to conquer the holy land.
If you’re gonna crusade fucking crusade and send the princes.
Russian air defenses shot down five of the missiles and another was damaged. Fragments from the damaged missile fell on the territory of a military facility, causing a fire that has since been extinguished. There were no casualties or damage.

The Gauls are not paying tribute which undermines our ability to defend the Gauls from our legions.
A side effect of the Varoufakis idea that we are in fact ceasing to be public governments, replacing the actual functions of government with private corporations and vesting actual power in corporate offices, a side effect of that means government is less coordinated and effort is duplicated.
Instead of NASA plowing billions into the Saturn rocket program, now SpaceX and whatever Bezos’ space company is called and Boeing are all duplicating effort.
Which runs counter to the consolidation argument. Like, I think both arguments are true to different extents. Part of the problem is of course consolidation and the direction of effort to extracting rents rather than competing absolutely that’s a huge possibly even bigger part of it. An economy that’s being strangled by all these rents being collected by monopolists and the highest achieving maths whizzes going into finance and tech instead of science. 100% true.
But another part is ironically the decentralization of research effort as it is privatized.
