I can't claim it. Cory Doctorow coined it a few years back. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enshitt...

Oh no oh no, those horrible Iranians bullied us for so long says the former commander of one of the most powerful militaries ever which has spent the last 40+ years camped on Iran's doorstep.

It works until it doesn't, and we're pretty early in the "does it work out phase." Guess this is the problem with electing an evil toddler.

All it would take is a tramp steamer or container ship and some drones. Ukr already did a small version of it against those air bases and this is what some folks thought was happening with the New Jersey drone mania last year. Could be made real quite easily.

Difficulty lies in if the side imposed upon refuses to let you run away. Or they follow you. So far the only proof of concept is VZ and maybe last June in Iran. But the day is yet young on both those adventures.

Also, speaking of riding shotgun, also have some loose gun laws so anyone can just conceal carry. It's the YOLO state.

In Missouri, now, the passenger can have an open container. It's wild AF to just be riding in the car having a beer while riding shotgun.

It's pulling a classic Hitler: mistaking luck and someone else's meticulous planning for personal genius and proceeding accordingly.

It's even cheaper if you gather roadkill or scavenge the coastline for washed up dead creatures.

It's just an international version of the Great Sort that has been happening here for a bit. It's why Missouri and Ohio became predictably Republican vs bellwethers.

Interesting that she also bars destruction of the report. Sounds like she's playing both sides of things and just kicking the can down the road.
