I don't think you understand what a monopoly is.

While I don't think this should ever pass, I think a huge issue is we're too close to the election to be changing how voting works. People could vote in the primaries and then not have the documents to vote in the actual election. Something like this would need to be phased in over time, just think about how long Real IDs took to implement.

I always forget when looking at energy production, the US is at 40% renewable+nuclear (21% just renewable) which is actually around the same for China ~40% renewable+nuclear (35% just renewable).

If you haven't seen it before this is a highlights reel of bandit Keith in a spoof dubbing from yugioh abridged https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBbodtKylqs

If it's like the sahed drone then it costs about $30k, has the range of a "medium-range" ballistic missile (which cost millions of dollars), but moves at ~115mph vs supersonic. They also have more limited payload.

So the general principle is that you can produce them quick enough that you can deploy enough to overwhelm your enemies defenses. They also use satellite and interial navigation so can be fairly accurate.

I thought TOTK was worse cause now you're also managing the parts inventory. It was so frustrating to get to certain places and find out you didn't have the necessary parts (like a glider) to do certain things.

I even ended up using duplication glitches to skip resource scavgening and I still felt like I ended up wasting half the game managing my inventory.

I agree with you, it's a decent open world game but a pretty mediocre Zelda game. I had hoped TOTK might improve upon the direction they chose to take the series, but it kinda doubles down on all the weaker points of BOTW (uninspired "dungeons", more one-time use resources, etc.).

I think my biggest gripe with TOTK and Echoes of Wisdom is that you can solve 90% of the "puzzles" with one or two techniques. There isn't a lot of critical thinking needed when you can use things like the rocket to just skip most of the puzzle and similarly I think I solved a majority of the puzzles in Echoes of Time using the bed echo.

That's a fair call out. My comment about systemic issues was to address the fact that it's somewhat unfair to compare apples and oranges. So when I said the economy was doing well under Biden, I meant in regards to the current systems in place in the US.

That being said, the economy is generally measured in how productive the country is. If the economy is doing good, then generally we have lots of people producing lots of things. That doesn't mean we're producing the right things though, as that comes down more to policy and public sentiment/behavior.

Under Biden wages were growing faster than inflation, inflation was coming down, unemployment wasnt growing, stockmarket/business were doing well. Meaning things were doing okay and had the potential to do even better.

Also, a lot of the points you made aren't directly tied to the economy and are systemic to the country. No matter how good the economy is doing, privatized Healthcare is going to cause issues.

I think it's a "dog whistle"

Coming out of the pandemic the US had one of the best looking economies. If he had done nothing he could have taken all the credit. Instead he decided to shoot himself and the country in the foot.

This is talking about American citizens killed by Israelis in Palestinian territory called the West Bank (Gaza is the other half). So isn't about the war with Iran.
