Boomers are getting ready to retire and are determined to squeeze the last cent out of everything.  Betting the owners watch Fox News and think working people are lazy and want money for nothing.  A whole lot of problems in this country could be sorted if the 1% agreed to just a small decrease in the rate their wealth…

im curious to which brands employees make more money.  You might sell 120 benzes a year (I have no idea of how many cars a decent saleperson at a moderately busy dealership sells...at all, no concept), but look at sales numbers, seems like selling F150s in Texas would be more lucrative.  How many more Honda CRVs get…

Our whole food system is just wasteful.  How many brands of creamy peanut butter do we need?  How many varietys of jarred pasta sauce do we need?  The generic, and the premium each have like a dozen options at least.  Multiple brands of shelf stable parmesian cheese that is almost certainly not actually from italy. …

The US is hanging on by a thread, but i expect the GOP to snip that after November.

Get ready to watch that poverty number implode.  The last 40 years has seen the largest economic expansion in history due to globalization. As the Coldwar faded away and ended, the US and its allies promoted globalization right as the boomers hit their peak earning years.  Except Europe, Canada, and north asia didnt…

I think there is a ceiling to gamepass.  I dont know what the average console playing demo is, but how many of us have massive netflix/hulu/amazon etc backlogs we almost never make a dent in as there is just so much content?  How many of us have so many games that we mean to get back to and dont.  I literally look at…

I take issue with the Order.  The game is great.  Its short, but not as ridiculously short as people make it out to be, its a good 6 hours min unless you rush.  If they had given it a co op hoard mode and some additional collectables it would have been better received.  Dayz Gone is great, but year, needed a bit more…

I dont know what the metrics are for gamespass.  But with as many studios as MS has.  I just dont see that model as sustainable.  Plenty of full price games lose money, MS has to pay companies something to be on the service, so they spend money that way...plus they have to fund AAA dev costs, which are nuts.  MS has…

This whole article had to be paid for.  It reads like a marketing article.

Utz Dark Russets are my jam.  Im trying to eat less junk, so follow serving size suggestions and such.  I only buy Dark Russets on a holiday weekend to treat myself because i will just house the hole bag.  

We were fucked the minute Obama chose not to go after the banks.  Screw the law.  If Obama went right after the banks post election, and used the bully pulpit he would have had the popular support needed to break them up.  He should have come in, broken up the banks, bailed out homeowners on primary homes.  And forced…

Agreed.  100 percent.  I dont think Thomas would retire or resign even if it was GOP controlled.  People like him get off on being in power ( i mean read up on the whole Anita Hill thing...what a shit heel).

They should have been working on an animate movie for Mario 15 years ago.  No reason their couldnt be at least one Nintendo Movie a year.  Mario, do Wario in a Mario movie then give him his own.  Do a luigis mansion.  Do Fzero.  That nintendo isnt earning a half billion in movie revenue a year is just nintendo leaving…

I dont read anything into that.  Nintendo plays things incredibly close to the best.  We didnt know dread was coming out till June of last year, then it came out 3 months later.  After the last Mario movie, nintendo got incredibly protective over its IP, other than cartoons for kids in the 90s.  Pokemon is not under…

better hope it happens while Dems control the Senate.  Any justice dies or retires after Nov...and if McConnell is majority leader...that seat will sit vacant until Jan 2025.  Thomas is the kind of guy who could have a stroke, be incapable of functioning at his normal base level of sub par and would not retire.  Once…

To impeach a conservative justice....you would need 67 senators willing to vote them out.  I doubt you would get half of the dems to do so.  The establishment dems are still acting like any day now the GOP is going to turn on trump....as if trump was the source of the GOP behavior and not just a major symptom of it. …

In my field, no one gets severance.  If there is downsizing...we are sol.

also, China is going to keep slowing.  China’s productivity per capita peaked in 2005.  Their labor pool as a percentage of the pop is shrinking. They are now the oldest country in the world and their population, which was estimated to peak in 2030, then restimated to 2025 (this was pre covid), is now, based on the…

its not regulations at all.  Its not even newer sources of energy.  Shale and fracking are just eating coals lunch. 

....at this point we should get out the guilletines and round up all the billionaires. Seize all their assets. Some not completely shit heel ones will get screwed...i can live with it. I wish more news articles would identify the literal board of directors and 5 largest shareholders (and if it is Vanguard or some…
