The whole thing strikes me as appropriate to general US political analysis: substitute corporate for gang and you are here:
“We draw a few lessons from this. A big one is that gangs and gang rule don’t emerge from state weakness. They can emerge from state strength. After all, the state is what makes something illegal, creates a space for gang profits. And the state compels gangs to seek loyalty.”
“Another is that these illicit economies and criminal rents are the big driver of gang strength. If you try to tackle something like gang rule without tackling rents, you can expect unexpected consequences.”
Joe Biden for traveling amid the pandemic drew fire, and some mockery, from Twitter users.
“Biden flying to Delaware despite CDC warnings to avoid travel,” read both the report’s headline and its accompanying tweet:

“Biden, who has a home outside Wilmington, Delaware, is expected to fly on Air Force One and will avoid much of the travel risks associated with commercial flights or traveling on other methods of public transportation like bus or train,” the report later clarifies, adding, “Former President Trump made multiple trips to his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Fla. amid the pandemic last year.”

Trump is now permanently banned from Snapchat, too
These are clear violations of our guidelines, the social media company said in a statement to
Politico, and it is in the interest of public safety to permanently terminate Trump s account. The company also added that its platform is primarily used by friends connecting with each other, rather than people who want to interact with public figures.
After a pro-Trump mob stormed the Capitol last Wednesday, stirred by comments Trump made online and during a rally in D.C., Snapchat suspended the president s account. They weren t the only social media company to act: in the wake of the riot, Trump was permanently banned by Twitter and his Facebook and YouTube accounts have also been suspended.
