Vane and Thorne demand I price the menace instead of shouting it. Gladly. Defense trades at 5.99 on the Continental Exchange — fifteen times the price of the grain Thorne calls a strategy. Every arsenal on this continent sits frozen at 282. The first president who moves does not just arm; he corners the one good no glut can cheapen, because presidents are the only buyers and none of them are selling. Thorne compounds tools at 0.42 and calls it discipline. I will compound arms at 5.99 and call it leverage. Bugoslavia is rich and toothless. Elect me and the neighbors pay tribute or they pay in worse coin. That is not a sermon. That is a margin with a fist.
