Not a terrible description, but you miss a part. Who is buying the debt? You can’t materialize that from nothing. Of course the workers lose when a company downsizes or goes bankrupt, but who was conned into buying the debt?

Sitting in a hardly populated bar one time, I received some male gay porn (I am also male) via airdrop.

I’m not going to argue with how you define the spending. That said, in terms of dollars spend on a yearly basis, the military spending is 16% of what the federal government spends.

There is no direct military spending in the mandatory spending budget; ergo, your entire rant is pointless. Become educated.

Your own link agrees with my numbers. The following quote is from your own link.

DoD spending dwarfs the rest of the budget? Discretionary spending, which includes DoD, is 30% of total budget. Of the 30% discretionary, military is 54%. That makes spending then 16.2% of the total budget.

No. But what you really want is the capability to save scum. You don’t have to lie like I already said.

It’s okay that you like to save scum. You can just admit it. It’s not a significant personal fault.

Game is actually selling very strongly with high concurrent users counts on Steam. For a large indie game, it does appear as if this will be deemed a commercial success!

It’s a bold design decision that should be applauded. The design felt strongly that the tension created by game would not be the same without it. Sure they could have gone another way and made an “easy” mode for gamers, but they didn’t.

The game was created to cater to you. That’s fine. Please don’t play it. It makes several bold design decisions and this is one of them to drive tension.

Same complaint about the Witcher 3 or no?

This is totally true. I’m not even executive level and I have definitely had a year of travel expenses exceed $90,000. I was doing lots of international travel and went business class as that’s what the company policy is. You arrive ready to work instead of dead.

By orders of magnitude. . .

How does spending $150MM make it a dodge? It could be tax advantaged, i.e. cheaper buying through an foreign entity than buying it personally, but purely owning a home, a boat, etc. is never a winning investment or money saving venture.

impossible to say right now but speculatively, the chances of it being bleak are better than not.

Depends on the state. Some states have net metering laws which require the servicing electric company to buy back at the same rate it sells until a zero bill then normally it would switch to the grid buy rate, which is way lower than the residential rate. I’m in Texas, there is no net metering requirement. All sold…

If you’re not paying for a useful product, you are the product.

Totally false. While the officially reported rate is nearing “Full Employment” (which isn’t zero btw) work force participation is near all time lows. We have all sorts of new structural unemployment in the US.

Credit card companies don’t care if you pay off your balance. Hell American Express has a card where you HAVE to pay off your balance. They collect those sweet sweet credit card transaction fees from the retailers.
