MAGA gets rich on bombing Iran? The "Uno reverse card" of millions of dollar paid out if you assassinate Trump came into play recently. This one regime is not trying for plausible deniability, though, which is not quite a reverse of just using the prediction market tool, too.

Jury is still out on that.

Is it 1973? We could invest in solar instead of kings that might ship their energy to us in peace time (i.e. killings happens only within each states borders)?

"In the Talmud, Rav Yehuda says that there are twelve hours in a day. God spends three of them studying Torah, three judging the world, three answering prayers, and three playing with Leviathan."

Seems to be important, that creature.

If the speed of a car increases by 100% does that mean that it arrives at its destination before it left? No, it just means it took 50% of the time it would have otherwise.

But I do agree that it would be a bit clearer to talk in terms of time taken rather than speedup % i.e. instead of "20% slowdown to over 100% speedup" it's clearer to say "takes between 50% and 125% of the original time". (Especially since people very often say things like "3 times faster", which technically means 4 times as fast, when they should say "3 times as fast"; "takes 1/3 of the time" is unambiguous.)
