Ugh. This sounds like the same tired, dystopian claptrap that’s been played through a thousand times.

Oh I’ve definitely noticed them growing, and I eye roll every time I see another article about it. But I don’t blame the companies, I blame the consumers. They make the choice to buy fake items with real money. It’s ridiculous and irrational, but they choose it anyway.

If you waste your money on things that don’t exist, that’s a choice you make. Hopefully you’re not sitting around blaming these companies for choices you make.

Yes, but the 2DS had already existed prior to the 3DS anyway. You might’ve heard of the Nintendo DS, yes?

I can’t help but think the omission of TV mode is a terrible idea. It basically strips the Switch of its switchiness.

Hey, at UCLA we frequently had people selling communist newspapers on campus, or holding rallies calling for the violent overthrow of the US government :P. 

1. Get money from people who either agree with you or will trade you for favors you’re willing to grant.

I miss when people truly believed in the idea of diversity and were content to “agree to disagree” rather than try to find every avenue to bully each other into compliance.

We don’t need single payer healthcare. Shoving all people into a single system never, ever makes any sense. We are not all the same. We do not all have the same needs or wants.

Well, he definitely doesn’t know what he’s talking about, that much is clear.

If he stops calling *himself* a socialist, then I will. Not before.

Because it’s not as simplistic as that. Not at all.

No, he’s not thinking at all. His understanding of economics is rudimentary at best. He’s a Trump-like ideologue who seeks evidence to support his pre-drawn biases rather than drawing conclusions based on evidence.

Although I agree with your analysis entirely, I’m not sure I’d say it invalidates the “what the market will bear” idea so much as it poses another question: how broadly do you want to define your market? I might be able to extra $100 per T Shirt from a certain market segment, but I can, as you correctly note, grab…

In general, yes, goods are priced to what the market will bear, that’s true. However, in this case, Trump’s idiotic tariffs—a direct attack on the very idea of Capitalism and free trade, incidentally—artificially drive up the cost beyond what the market will bear by inserting a hefty additional fee on top of the price…

Seriously. All he really achieved was +1ing the world's population of @ssholes.

Feige said the avengers will be on hiatus for a few years after endgame, in favor of highlighting some other teams

Pulling off the gauntlet was never going to be enough. The one and only thing that would have stopped Thanos in that moment was killing him.

One thing more, imho: they should have kept PSP's ability to connect to a TV and PlayStation controllers that came with later models.

Which was a loss, in fact, due to the movie's huge production and marketing budgets. The movie wasn't profitable until it was released to video.
