Using the economic boom of the 1950s as “evidence” that higher marginal tax rates on the wealthy would solve all of our economic woes is disingenuous at best, and an outright distortion of the truth at worst. An absolutely crucial factor in the economic success of the 1950s that had nothing at all to do with America’s…

The architecture from the original cartoon makes a strong case that they were going for Mughal culture, though the Arabian desert setting conflicts somewhat with that.

The problem is that the ACA basically didn’t solve ANY of the problems you mentioned, with the exception of more explicitly making it illegal for insurance companies to deny coverage based on pre-existing conditions. Every other problem you mention is still present. It is still economically devastating to get…

Basically because contractual obligation is not affected by allegations of sexual misconduct unless there is an explicitly written clause in the contract that defines such misconduct as a breach of contract.  Hopefully companies will start including such language in the future, but until then, this is the disgusting…

Since when have governments ever had a problem getting blood on their hands?

This is yet another example of people on the left making the perfect the enemy of the good. Do you think anyone on the right gives a shit about their candidates having perfect backgrounds with no gaffes or mistakes? They’ve run literal nazis and nearly elected child molesters SEVERAL times in the last few years alone.…

The sad fact is that neither the Kavanaugh or the Thomas confirmations were ever going to go any other way. The question was never IF they were going to get confirmed, it was HOW the corrupt people confirming them were going to try and lie to the American people to save face. There are no honest people who hold…

I’d say the answer is probably directly related to the fact that a Twitter post is now considered a cover letter/resume.

The way I see it is that it’s basically like driving a car through a small, low population town vs. a big bustling city with narrow streets. In real life, you’d never go faster than 15-20 mph through dense, narrow city streets, but you could get away with going faster down wider two-lanes that run through rural…

It’s definitely easier to melee the lawmen than hog-tying them. If you have anyone alive and tied on the floor, make sure to move them to the antechamber before you blow the safe though, or your bounty will spike from killing them all in the blast. ;-)

Yeah, I forgot about that. Still though, as you said, there’s a fair amount of survivors who could show up in potential dlc side stories.  :-)

Strauss gets kicked out by Arthur before the end, so he would be another.  As far as a can recall, Karen and Swanson make it out, too.  In any case, there’s a good number of survivors.

Yeah, there’s definitely a disappearing guns bug. I had to rebuy the double-barrelled shotgun hours after initially finding it in Kieran’s first mission. The same bug seems to happen to ammo sometimes, too. I repeatedly had 200 rounds of varmint rifle ammo just disappear out of my inventory for no reason throughout…

At least seven characters from the gang (not including the main ones from the original RDR) survive all the way through the end of the epilogue, if I’m remembering right. I don’t want to actually list them out of respect for spoilers.

I manually saved after looking in the back window, but before actually walking into the doctor’s office to do the stick-up. I was always able to replay it by reloading that save.

To be fair, there are a significant amount of gang characters who both don’t die and aren’t mentioned in the first game.

Another frustrating thing is that your bounty goes up for every item you steal EXCEPT the money on the table and the gun.  So it seems like they meant you to only have time to grab those before running out.

Great timing! I literally spent over an hour playing and replaying this robbery last night, trying to figure out the optimal path through it. Ultimately, I realized that after hog-tying or knocking out the first 3 lawmen who come in, the rest stay outside, so you can loot at your leisure. Best way to get out quick is…

Seriously.  You could buy a brand new video game console for that price, and get exponentially more use and value.

“Specialty Lego” is right up there with “brand new car” on the list of things that would be nice to own, but that i will never have enough disposable income to fully justify.
