We have barely started inhabiting this
still unknown territory, and largely non regulated yet, post-Corona world and I
already feel nostalgic for the era of “real fukuyamism.”
Back then, everything felt simple.

“No two countries that both have a McDonald's
have ever fought a war against each other.
The McDonald's folks confirmed it for
me. I feared the exception would be the Falklands war, but Argentina didn't get
its first McDonald's until 1986, four years after that war with Britain. Civil
wars don't count: McDonald's in Moscow delivered burgers to both sides in the
fight between pro-and anti-Yeltsin forces in 1993.
Since Israel now has a kosher
McDonald's, since Saudi Arabia's McDonald's closes five times a day for Muslim
prayer, since Egypt has 18 McDonald's and Jordan is getting its first, the
chances of a war between them are minimal. But watch out for that Syrian front.
There are no Big Macs served in
Damascus.”
