Altar L in Copan and the 4 bankrupt Westinghouse reactors at Vogtle, GA


I am interested in collapse, when things fall apart.

Sometimes collapse is a divorce of two formerly allied alphas battling for supremacy of their smoking rubble empire, while civilians die or if they have the means, flee with their lives.

However other collapses are the result of bankruptcy.

Alphas gamble resources to acquire competitive advantages or they have nothing left to lose. Sometimes there are no other choices but to gamble and risk losing. When you have nothing left to lose the best choice is to pay criminals to cross the Mediterranean and risk death or the US border and risk imprisonment.

Civilizations require electricity. New coal generation is out. 

Sometimes the only choice is to hire the company that built the 3 Mile Island disaster to build new power plants on your property. And they were first approved since the disaster.

Utilities in the South Carolina and Georgia contracted Westinghouse to build 4 reactors designed to solve problems with construction cost overruns and operating safety.

Westinghouse has declared bankruptcy. The plants are left unfinished. Monuments to collapse. The American nuclear industries version of Copan's Altar L.

How to consider the issues?

Micro issues
declining marginal returns
- declining debt productivity
- increasing complexity
- alphas toshiba vs alphas westinghouse vs alphas cbi

Macro issues
- USA quit fail industry - military excluded
- global industry - who is left
- energy future construction
- energy future generation
- energy future capacity

exploit the field of Ningirsu as a(n interest- bearing) loan.

According to that inscription, Eanatum, despite his victory over umma, left a strip of land over one km. deep, belonging to lagaš, along the border under umma’s control, According to Eanatum’s inscription on his “Stele of the Vultures” (E1.9.3.1), the ruler of umma was obligated under oath to “exploit the field of Ningirsu as a(n interest- bearing) loan.” According to Enmetena’s inscription, the amount of land umma could use was stipulated by the acreage needed to produce 1 guru (5184 hl.) of grain, at the current ...

humans are make humans weapons

wednesday nov 10 financial times says belarus is instrumentalising migrants. humans makes other humans into weapons to extract resources from other humans. belarus is bringing migrants from syria and iraq to polish border putting pressure on eu and poland. this is strategic from belarus. low risk and low cost attack. it is hard to see what a measured response by poland would be. what can poland do to extract resources from belarus at low cost and low cost? because of its moral commitments poland cant imprison or threaten migrants - but they could promote hussar history in migrant source countries - proudly promoting christian militarism defeating the ottomans. how about the hodow? https://amp.ft.com/content/5524378f-f141-4f6e-8ea4-0f3be0bf27af
