Rail monopolies destroyed the American supply chain

A vintage editorial cartoon depicting a giant squid labeled ‘Railroad Monopoly’ with various things being strangled in its tentacles: a ship, a coach, a farmer and his horses, a miner, a telegraph delivery boy, a winemaker, lumberjacks, a produce farmer, etc. The octopus’s eyes are the bearded faces of two forgotten railbarons.

How to design an anti-monopoly interop system

A Monopoly board upon which a wheelbarrow token has landed on Boardwalk with a hotel. Behind the board is the Matrix ‘waterfall’ effect. In the bottom right corner is a thuggish capitalist with a top hat and cigar, pulling a dollar-sign-shaped lever on a mysterious box. In the bottom left corner is a shadowy ‘hacker-in-a-hoodie’ figure, with a red supernova where their face should be.
