#and all of it would be kind of moot if he knew that the lloyd he chose to keep and the one he let go were one and the same

[lloydfrontera]

Hello! Did Javier or Frontera couple actually never find out that Original Lloyd and Kim Suho shared the same soul????

That's so sad :"(

they don't :( but to be fair neither does lloyd. as far as i know, this is an audience exclusive revelation and no one in-universe knows about it.

and tbh i'm kinda glad? i don't know, i much prefer that the affection and love that exists between the frontera family and suho come from their own experiences and the relationship they built by themselves rather than because it turned out suho was their own child all along. i think it would cheapen the found family aspect of it all.

as it is, i think it was... not a bad decision on bk moon's part to make the twist, but only because he waited to drop the bomb til the last chapter, once all the relationships had already been developed on their own. had it been on the middle of the novel, there would've always been the doubt of "oh is he doing all of this because they were his family in his previous life? does he actually care for them or does he just feel guilty? do they only love each other because they were biological family once?" and honestly it would've sucked, i hate just thinking about it lol

as it is, i think it's already a slippery slope, i've already seen a couple comments about how suho is the way he is because of og lloyd's feelings and guilt and like,,,, No ajsdhjka

for one thing suho has no recollection of his previous life, he's not at all affected by og lloyd's guilt or memories, everything he does, everything he feels is because of his own lived experiences and character. to attribute everything he accomplishes to the last split second resolution of a man who never cared enough to do something for himself or his family in his own life, would be a disservice to his character and honestly, kind of a let down if that's what bkm was going for.

and for another, i just think it's way more poignant to have lloyd find a family that loves and cares for him, not because of blood ties or same-soul shenanigans, but because of who he is and what he's done. it would be kind of disappointing for the story to say "they only care for each other because they were biological family before" because,,, then what was the point of the build up, of their relationship development, of the slowburn of lloyd coming to accept that not only does he sees arcos and marbella as parents but that he deserves their love too. it would negate how big of a choice it was for the fronteras themselves to decide that they loved lloyd, even knowing he wasn't their son, that they cared for him not as a replacement but as his own person, that they trusted him even after the deception, that they wanted him to come home and be part of their family.

all of that would be kind of cheapened if everyone knew that suho's previous life was og lloyd, because then what's the big problem, it's still the same soul, it's basically the same person, they were already family once, no big deal to be family again, everything is wrapped up in a neat little bow with no loose ends and they can carry on their merry lives without facing the big difficult emotions that come with all of the previously mentioned dilemmas.

ok maybe i'm exaggerating a little, i do think there would be very interesting feelings to explore if they did end up knowing about it, but let's be honest, they wouldn't have been explored in canon lol. this is not the kind of novel to explore the grand dilemmas that come with a reincarnated soul making amends for the faults it committed in its previous life and that's okay, not every novel can be.

but i don't know. perhaps i just like the found family trope more than the 'they were related all along' one even if it's just soul wise askjdlafkd

again this is just the way i see things, if you feel differently that's also perfectly okay and i would love to talk about it if you guys want! i'm just. being silly :3

In your judgment, should an American company operating in a foreign country in which collusive price fixing is not illegal obey the U.S. laws against collusion? Why?

COMMENTARY:

Doing business outside of the American Free Enterprise Zone is a step into Free Market economics. Our country innovated fixed price retail sales. Everything was haggling like the Cairo black markets in ancient manuscripts for everything.

Trump is using haggling skills he brings from American trade among theives which can be a life-threatening practice anywhere but outside the American Free Enterprise Zone.

Pax Romana was the first large scale Free Enterprise/Free Trade Zone. Free Trade in a Free Market Zone is characterized by a great deal of piracy, sea-borne hijacking just like the Somalia pirates fishing without nets in Captain Phillips starring Tom Hanks.

The kidnapping of Julius Caesar seems to have set a chain of thought more or less universially among all the contenders jousting for God Father of All God Fathers, which Julius won for his family. Augusta installed by tradition the anti-piracy coast guard mission to the Roman fleets . I think this is where crucifixion really got traction: the Romans crucified pirates at ports to announce the Free Enterprise ground rules of business. One of the first things that jumped out me in reading Ben Hur was that letters of credit were being employed in the Mediterranean. That is very advanced capitalism. Letters of credit are still a handy way to move money around for big projects across a lot of boarders. Letters of Credit defines Warton and Warton produces a military apparatchek with very similar entrepreneurial skill sets, majors/Lieutenants and lieutenant colonels/Commanders. James Bond was a commander, but his authorites seemed to be capped at the lieutenant commander strata. He would retire as a captain, perhaps even a flag-rank. Lawrence of Arabia was a major. He had enough status to move easily through the military bureaucracy with near perfect autonomy, but not a lot of swerving out of his lane. As major, he would have been issued a letter of credit from a lieutenant colonel who was the comptroller of the larger shop headed up by flag rank. A full colonel would be in there like John Kelly in a COS/XO status. He would be the banker and spare change for the office of the commanding officer. And the tombstone for all the letters of credit operating in the field in this command would reside in this office.

And the crucifixions said that the rule of law was present and correct: it was still very crude compared to, say, Whilshire Blvd or Amazon Prime, but Free Enterprise Zones, because the sort of crime that John Gotti, Al Capone and Don Corleone operated was systematically purged from the system, allowing for the sort of standardized and uniform retail sales we employ at the grocery store/711/dodega to get through the day. I picks my size and pays me money, No worries, Mon!

Jefferson’s commitment to global Free Enterprise/Free Trade Zones is immortalized in the Marine Hymn: Gaddafi died in a running gun fight outside of Tripoli. Not all that much has changed, but institutions like Lloyds of London have been established to enforce Free Enterrpise/Free Trade Zones against the constant encroachment of the elements of Free Market protocols.

Now, as I say, just going to Mexico and Canada takes you outside the America Free Enterprise. Free Trade Zone into Free Market protocols. Canada doesn’t have much black market, but Mexico, because of our stupid War on Drugs, is nearly overwhealmed by black market protocols in a John Gotti/Don Corleoane/G OP Deep State kind of way. America has a lot more black market than it needs and it began as a cancer growing around the Presidency that is captured in the Powell Memorandum of 1971 and became the law of the land with Bob Dole’s 1986 Tax Reforms which Trump repeated with his Tax Reforms of 2017. I don’t know what kind of disaster this has unleashed but things like Somalia pirates won’t be a problem after John Galt makes the sign of the dollar over the smoking ruins of everything we take for granted.

Including posting on Quara.

Reagan inherited what history will record the leading edge of the Pax Columbia set into motion by George Marshall set into motion in 1942 in anticipation of the economic disaters the looming war was going to create. FDR had begun to mobilize America as an agricultural-industrial complex with the New Deal not unlike Hitler’s social engineering but based on the aspirations of the Declaration of Indepence and the generosity of spirit embedded in the US Constitution. Then the war came along and Marshall knew from his years at VMI just how devastating war is on an economy, win, lose or draw plus he had the historical example of the failure of Reconstruction and by 1956, it was apparent that the Marshall Plan was going to win the Cold War and the combination of NATO and the United Nations, a Pax Columbia could be installed in a Peace Through Superior Kind of Way and, even though going off-shore to do business, it meant entering a Free Market Zone, some of that Free Market quality was cultural, like doing business in Rome is languid and Madrid is the brillian gesture and Moscow a sort of comforting paranoia of state surveillance because the Russian mafia is so Tombstone Territory.

So, you got to play the game and pay respect as is the local custom and that’s where it gets tricky. In Russia, there is a tradition of “blat”, which is literally the sound mone makes hitting the palm in a bribe. Or housewives demanding the paycheck on Friday “Show me the money!”: you slap the back of one hand into the palm of the other “Show me (blat, blat, blat) the (blat) MONEY! (blat, blat, etc). The Soviet Union couldn’t have worked at all without this very Free Market institution, a sort of stylized hiway robbery as in “I’m Donald. I’ll be your mugger to night”. Some niggardly Americans consider tipping to fall into that catagory, but you’re just cheap. “Blat” is really the best demonstration of the folly of Marxism, but it had it’s roots in the top-down free market behaviors of the Czars.

And there’s stuff like that in all cultures that seems Free Market to American businessmen who are used to Free Enerprise. The thing is that Free Enterprise is breaking down all over the globe because of 37 years of Reaganomics, the Somalia pirates being just one symptom. The Tory Socialism of Reaganomics is the economic time bomb John Galt began to wire into the economy with William F. Buckley’s Sharon Statement in 1960, then the Powell Memo in 1971, then Bob Dole’s 1986 Tax Reform and Trump’s 2017 Tax Reform. Blowing up globalism is blowing up the Monroe Doctrine to finance the Koch brother’s tax subsidies.

Following the laws of American Free Enterprise off-shore was made possible by the Marshall Plan doing business off-shore in an American best practices kind of way. The Deomocratic Socialism of Ford’s “living wage” policies and the New Deal from 1933 onward provided the Demand-Side economics that is the actual engine of American constitutional capitalism and not Supply-side command economics like Tory Socialism and Soviet Marxism.

American retail sales is based on price fixing. That’s what Trump’s tarriff wars are all about. There is a harmonic to tarriffs that he inherited that he is disrupting. Until I found out that it was Clinton’s analytics that shaped his design of his campaign in October and not his intuitive insights he was developing from rating, I though he knew what he was doing.

He doesn’t. The question is likely to be moot before 2020, if not Thanksgiving.

#god i didn't even mention javier in this.#but honestly. i think it's for the best that javier never knew about it.#it was such a big character moment for him to decide to not turn lloyd in when he figures he's a fake#his loyalty divided between the oath he made in protecting the frontera family. his responsibility of keeping og lloyd safe.#and the loyalty he has towards lloyd. his genuine belief that the best option is for him to stay. the ruthless conviction that if he has to#choose what lloyd to keep then there's basically no contest as the fake one is the one that's keeping everything together#it's not a kind thought but it is a logical one and he knows og lloyd is useless if not outright harmful for the estate and so he chooses#what he thinks is best for the estate and the family even if he does feel guilty for not keeping his master's son safe#it is a big character motivation moment for him#and all of it would be kind of moot if he knew that the lloyd he chose to keep and the one he let go were one and the same#so. i choose to believe he never knew and he has to live with the knowledge that when the chips were down he chose#lloyd over a member of the family he swore to protect <3

put half of the post on the tags again sorry bout that </3
