Crypto needs a lot of regulation.  The sheer amount of pump and dump is insane.  We literally had to ban that in the stock market.  The crypto markets are basically unregulated markets....that anyone would actually ascribe any value to a bitcoin is simply amazing.  What is backing it?  Absolutely nothing.  At least a…

old money complaining about new money is hardly new.  You can literally find records of it going back to the Roman Republican Era, im sure there is similar records in China at the time.  Rich Elites dont like having to share power with others, regardless, they also get worried that the new money will push them…

Rich people always want to eat what others cant afford.  Back in the middle ages white bread was a sign of money, since it took extra effort to refine the flour to get white bread.  Its also far less healthy for you.  Sugar was initially expensive too.  Caviar was cheap, then it became fashionable to have only beluga…

It would be hilarious....except its actually an indictment of late stage crony capitalism that exists in the US and most Western market economies.  The wealthy recovered very quickly from the 2008 crash.  The 2008 recession ended in March 2009, as per usual, asset holders were the first to recover.  Those who bought…

im not sure what people expected.  They arent going to put HZD or Ratchet on it yet.  They expect people to pick up copies when they get their hands on a new console.  Not having the ps5 versions of spiderman is the miss.  

Musk, Bezos, most of the ultra wealthy.  Its how they now avoid paying taxes.  I dont see how anyone who has ever taken a federal income tax law class could ever argue that the tax code isnt geared to the wealthy with any honesty.  It is just nuts.  

I dont know...go to Camden, NJ, Compton, or Crenshaw, or parts of detroit, or st. louis, or houston, or miami, or on and on.  Police come in and bust drug dealers but do little to nothing in the way of community policing.  There has been so much racist behavior on the part of the police forces that residents do not…

Metroid games dont typically sell all that well. Hell i think Metroid Prime 4 would have been cancelled, except Metroid is a marquee name for Nintendo in the US. I mean think about the fact that firemblem has had 9 games released in the US (not counting dynasty warriors clone, and counting 3 houses just the once time)…

never?  Nationally, maybe not.  But definitely could see 100% vegan stores popping up.

That may not matter.  Beef prices have been rising fairly steadily for a while now.  With income stagnation, which continues in real terms...beef is going to keep being pricey and increasingly out of reach.  Droughts and weather in the cattle producing areas are going to keep causing issues.  I dont think beef is…

some fantasy world where the US cuts subsidies to agro business....

Square doesnt understand the gaming market anymore.  They kind of lucked into FF14.  They had to redesign and relaunch it.  Their bread and butter is evaporating in Japan.  For the west...FF, some DQ, and KH...not much else is going to resonate.  People talk about loving secret of mana...but those games do just ok in…

pretty much.  They have a lot of IP and a lot of devs...but i think legacy of kain was never coming back.  

I have seen enough articles that the estimate on Hedge Funds and Investors buying up properties is accounting for something like 70% of sales.  It is not evenly distributed, but near me...there are a whole lot of homes that are going off the market, and no one moves in.

I assumed they meant fan favorite franchises...which for blizzard really means all of the post warcraft ones (WC, SC, Diablo, Overwatch).  You can bash Diablo Immortal, and its debut was a good case of failing to read the room, but that game is going to do gang busters.  D3 did well on pc, it did monster numbers on…

agreed.  I prefer spears.  And my fiance and I get picky about them.  Live in NJ, there is a place down the shore that nails them.  Happens to also have amazing chicken wings, and egg sandwiches.  We go there for a late breakfast...that includes a sausage egg and cheese sandwich (with ridiculously good homefries),…

I dont get why it is not just a staple of most sports bars.

Pickle Fries are not uncommon. I didnt even know the chips were thing. Fried pickle spears are superior. Chips only work if you get them hot and at them right away because the center of the pickle puts off too much water/steam and they get soggy fast.

Im not certain the USS can be used that way.  They arent part of the DoJ and their enforcement arm is limited to investigating threats to the security of their charges (including former presidents) and threats to the us financial system (counterfeiting).  Taking a person into custody is done by the enforcement arms of…

my fiance likes games, but gets motion sickness with them on big screens.  She has an easier time on pc on her laptop or with the switch in handheld mode.  She can play on the big screen, but frame rates being smooth are really important, and even then its like 30 mins before she gets a bit sick.  Its a shame, post…
