Would like to share my major concerns – US may start a War. North American prosper is based on two things: cheap labor and affordable natural resources. China is a face of cheap labor and Middle East and Russia are faces of natural recourses. War with China is absolute nonsense… such as your only servant murder. War with Middle east is reality which we may see happening. War with Russia is madness as Russia has nuclear weapons. But… That is only a barrier, right? What about fundamental reasons for US to depress Russia? Unfortunately, they exist:
- Russia has richest explored natural Gas recourses http://www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/international/reserves.html. The number of non-explored recourses may be even higher (estimations are being raised yearly)
- China is very dependent on Russian natural recourses. Thus, China is dependent on rulers of Russia.
Now let’s go back to existing barriers:
- From a technology point of view problems are solvable – army of tomorrow is the army of robots (mostly airplanes and rockets operated via geo satellites) who attack humans and other robots. Thus, it is possible to build an army which will be way more powerful than the other one.
- Political point of view does not exist as a concept.
- Moral point of view were constantly ignored by human beings along the history. After country builds an army of robots it needs only one “responsible person” to push the red button.
Do we have any other questions left except those starting with “When”?

Before this moment variety was widely considered to be a property of highly competitive market, while, on the contrary, similarity of goods was a property of monopolistic market. This is very logical assumption which can be explained clearly!
Highly competitive market has many players, who try to distinguish themselves selling product/service which is different from others. Moreover, every player sells many products/services targeted at the different customer groups. Thus market becomes saturated with the various offers from the numerous vendors. It is classical state for the highly competitive market.
Though the desribed state is unstable. To see it let’s take the position of the single customer. Every moment rational customer decides which product/service to buy. To accomplish it customer should compare available goods which please him/her… unless the process of choosing right item takes up all the spare time. To solve the problem of the right choice companies go for easing customer’s life even if the product/service may have limited capabilities after. Producers/Providers shrink the number of products/services and expand the number of features every item can have!
Here new state of market appears: sameness of goods in highly competitive market.
But this state is also unstable. Again, after some time past, customer wants more variety… and pendulum walks back
