afraid_of_zombies,

Dont people have enough real stuff to worry about?

hungryphrog,

Ah yes, priorities.

Harbinger01173430,

This is getting depressing too quickly :( I always had the hope that world war three would be earth vs the solar colonies instead of just earth vs earth…

TokenBoomer,

When the protomolecule makes the Ring you’ll know it’s time for WW3.

Harbinger01173430,

Is this an anime reference i am not too cultured to understand? :')

TokenBoomer,

The Expanse books.

Harbinger01173430,

Heck, I thought it was Macross and protoculture

The Expanse, it’s a live action scifi drama

paddirn,

So which stocks should I buy during a war? Do weapons manufacturers or the manufacturing sector in general go up?

XTornado, (edited )

I recommend chicken stock, though, a vegetable one would be nice too and probably cheaper.

I would probably invest in general electric during a war.

AeonFelis,

Does “third world war” mean “World War III” or a (proxy) war that will happen in third world countries but money-managers in the first world will have strong interest in?

mynamesnotrick,

First one then the other.

taanegl,

…both.

Welcome to the THIRD - WORLD - WAAARS!

holds for applause

Countries from the west and the east have come together with each their funds to pit third world soldiers against each other in a battle for glorious supremacy. This years games is held in Mogadishu and is sponsored by Coca Cola.

Each side gets about 15,000 soldiers and each of their countries will recieve a discount on their international debt. The outcome will decide how much dune feathers will cost per freight on the international markets the coming year.

Who will be the winner? The Eastern dune manufacturers, or western bedding corporations.

One thing is for certain, it won’t be the soldiers. Grab a hold of that machete and go hack off some of that debt, boys. Maybe a new predatory loan made between the elites of the west, east and Africa will pull Africans out of extreme poverty… but if not, they could of course try again - at the next annual THIRD - WORLD - WAAAARS!

applause

AeonFelis,

Will soldiers have to wear the logos of companies that sponsor them?

taanegl,

Not only, but for extra sponsorship money, they have to tattoo their entire body and then sell their skin (after death of course, though not a deal breaker) so it can be sold at an online skin market.

Collect the backs of an entire platoon and decorate your rumpus room today!

hglman,

Its title is actually “The Great War (2024)” bc nothing is original anymore.

taanegl,

Of course it’s a reboot.

Thorny_Insight,

The average stock market growth of 7% a year includes both world wars

crystalmerchant,

Won’t somebody think of the poor hedge fund managers

World War III will be the ultimate expression of communism. After all, it will be the end of capitalism when we all go together when we go.

Is it weird, as a tail end gen x/elder millennial, to really hope Lehrer was right about this one?

If I remember the last time we had it, the rich could buy their way out of it with college enrollments and fake disabilities and shit.
