Political risk.
Global volatility.
Straight talk.
I write what decision-makers need to see coming next.

#Chokepoints are the one #supplychain #risk you can't diversify away — a single strait, supplier, or route with no substitute. When one fails, there's no second to reroute through.
Broke this down for The Gist, via @UsChamberOfCom #Geopolitical #Intelligence Desk. Link below 👇

Ukrainian drone pilots are training in GTA V. Not a joke.
The best FPV drone trainer in Ukraine right now is Grand Theft Auto V.
Vitrugan, a drone school certified by Ukraine’s MOD, modded GTA V into a full FPV sim.
Real telemetry on screen. Distance, RSSI, flight time. Radiomaster TX16S remotes plugged in.
Los Santos as the sandbox.
Pilots say it feels close to a real rig.
A 13-year-old game. A live war. Cheap, repeatable, yet effective.
One small flag: Vitrugan themselves said it’s “not a replacement for real training” – more of a way to keep fingers sharp between missions.
1/ Political risk is no longer a background variable.
It is now an operating condition for investors, risk teams, and companies.
The hard part is not describing the headlines.
The hard part is translating political uncertainty into firm-specific business risk.
13/ PRR is designed for where risk analysis is going.
Political risk is not just humans reading reports.
It will increasingly be consumed by machines inside firms: portfolio systems, risk engines, procurement tools, compliance workflows, and
decision-support platforms.
14/ That requires political risk outputs to be structured, testable, and machine-readable.
Not just persuasive prose.
Not just a headline.
Not just an index.
A company-by-shock-type map that can plug into decision systems.

Great questions! The answer is “yes.” 😎 Subarb tracks your spend, your idle time, and which models you’re using in the browser and apps (most common ones supported). You can also sync to your @openclaw log files to track your usage there.
