I see. You're focused on the word "democracy", while I was focused on the word "stable". We're talking over each other. :D

Not quite enough to cause widespread riots, sure. Because it's World Cup season. When that's over, things can boil over.

I am not too sure about the "stable democracy" part, but that's another debate for another time. There's wide distrust of the government esp. with the build-up to the World Cup. Add various pyramid/Ponzi schemes like TelexFree (busted in the US in April 2014 as well) and various clone schemes and you have enough poor…

Training and maintenance costs, primarily. Even with the new avionics and fully rebuilt (or even new engines), the existing techs can be easily trained / upgraded to serve them. If you replace with a brand new model, everybody, from logistics to wrenchmonkeys to pilots to commanders will have to be FULLY retrained. …

Let's just say he has... character. Hey, any one who married J. Lo must have *something* she liked, right?

As you said, there are different perspectives.

Most of us have a life instead of guessing "how much that blouse/shirt cost him/her" to people around them.

Yes, and in practical terms (i.e. the 99%) we don't really get 12x nicer clothes by paying 12x the price or last 12x longer. Maybe you can tell the difference, but my point is are you sure you're not just LOOKING for them in order to justify your expenditure?

You can buy it from Android app and initial remote install (if your Steam's still logged in at home) so it'll be ready for you when you get off work! :D

Don't buy a game unless it's a daily deal or a flash sale. You may be tempted by one of the general store discounts, but don't do it. Those titles will likely go further on sale somewhere before the end of the week, and you'll miss out on a deeper discount. If your favorite game doesn't go on a daily deal or a flash…

Community deals, where Steam users vote for one of three games to get a discount. These deals last about a day, and you can weigh in on which one you want. The result is up to the community, but it's usually the biggest title or the steepest discount that wins.

But you're not going to pull someone's collar to look at their blouse's label, are you?

To an expert who are already paying 125 for a shirt, definitely they can tell... mainly to pat themselves in the back on how much more they paid therefore it must be better. The rest of us would rather have that extra 100 in our wallet (or purse) and profess willful ignorance of the differences. ;)

And how many of these "cloth snobs" that can spot the quality of what you're wearing by a mere glance is out there?

Use those multicolored Cosmopolitan sandwiches if you're making it for kids.

You can make it in a walk-in freezer, you know...

So no "Allied Corp", "Fantasy Corp", and "Star Corp" in the future eh...

It's the Scotty rule. ;)

As if you are going to notice the difference without a figurative "fine-toothed comb"...

Hey, it's a fun segment to watch other people being douchebags.
