There's a sleeper train from Bangkok to the northern border. Probably about 12 hours. Wasn't too bad last time I took it (must have been 10-15 yrs ago). Doing that on an acela seat sounds like torture though.

Two things can be true at once. What you said seems very likely, but I don't think he's completely wrong on some of his criticisms. For example, the debanking of individuals at some companies seems excessive and not legitimately AML related.

It will probably be good to have competition amongst platforms - perhaps the "natural Monopoly" arguments are misplaced and it will last - maybe with a bit of differentiation.

I'm actually hopeful that this realization (or rather its consequences) will ultimately result in reducing tariffs. Big protectionist actions like the Jones Act are often popular when enacted. Then their consequences are more fully realized... Sadly sometimes you just have to learn the hard way.
