Context, as always is important. You’re taking a 2019 view of the phrase “general welfare” and applying it to a single 2 words without looking at where the statement is made in the Constitution. Basically you’re incorrect on all accounts.

Sad I even have to explain that.

General Welfare shows up twice in the Constitution: in the Preamble and in the Taxing and Spending Clause. The preamble doesn’t apply here since it grants no rights/powers. So Section 8.1 reads:

Education is provided at the state, not federal level. The federal government provides funding and guidance. 

The preamble states the purpose of the Constitution. It has been helpful to determine intent but does not grant rights to the people or powers to the government.

The preamble also refers to securing “the blessings of liberty” which can be interpreted as freedom. Interestingly enough the 13th, 14th, 15th, and 19th would be required to prohibit US citizens from owning other humans and establish equal rights for all people regardless of race or sex.

But that’s where it generally stops - freedom and life protected by the military from foreign invaders and very broad powers codified in the Constitution.

... ensured via the state by police (in theory) and fire departments. We have education for every child too.

His customary and moral obligation was to pay him the contracted rate of $4,000. He paid 20% on top of that, going beyond his obligation.

The problem is that the “opinion” is nothing but bigotry.

If somebody has an opinion that differs, they are just stupid.

Don’t be biased because you’re married to a person from China. Their government has proven to put their interest above all others and a good level of skepticism is required before allowing them unfettered access to personal information at the expense of American businesses.

I made definitive statements. Metro 3 was sold on Steam for $60. Those sales are being honored up until the announcement that it will be only sold on Epic. It is being sold on Epic for $50.

I’d agree, then I see what’s happening with Huawei and I am not sure that China’s interest are aligned with anyone’s but China’s.

Point is, current Medicare is tailored to old people, who get a great deal on it.

Exclusivity deals from third party publishers are rare compared the vast amount of games that are sold across multiple platforms and storefronts. First-party exclusivity from developers who own a platform (Sony’s Spiderman) or a storefront (Blizzard’s Overwatch) are common.

This is impressively stupid math...

Depends what it covers, I suppose. Medicare covers old people and is bought by old people.

Also, have to think Epic is sweetening the deal in order for it to be exclusive as a way of promoting the Epic Store.

You obviously cannot read. At 1M copies Deep Silver makes $1M more selling them on Steam than on Epic. I showed my work above so either you didn’t read, didn’t comprehend, or don’t understand how Steam and Epic take their cuts. I’ll repost and see if you can follow this time:
