They are 20 years old at this point but the original Guild Wars was full of pop culture references.

Hard to make a generalization from this one asshole who dropped the bag. How many people have been to the caverns and not destroyed the ecosystem?

Lowest common denominator, tragedy of the commons, etc.

This was for 2023 and the job market was hot that year. If you switched jobs you probably got a double digit pay rise, and many people were doing it. That's what drove the number.

However, the job market is kinda crashing right now in 2024. So I don't think it's a trend that will continue.

The reason capitalism leads to fascism is that inevitably capitalism will lead to untenable inequality. Injustice will be too great to ignore between the rich and the rest. This will lead to populism.

There are two forms of populism. One will seek to rectify the imbalances caused by capitalism. The other will seek to divert blame to minorities. If there were less blacks, immigrants, gays, Jews, etc. etc. then our society would not be in decay. One is much more useful to the Capitalist and so it will ultimately prevail. The capitalist will devote all resources to crushing the leftist populism up to and including directly funding fascism.

It's definitely satire. The status is the clue. Also a lot of what he says makes him sound like an idiot in a business context.

It will be felt most by those least responsible.

That's a lot of money we're spending because of Netanyahu's crazed bloodlust.

Baldwin was the primary producer on the film and the set conditions had had numerous safety issues up until this point including 3 other firearm misfires. There was a documented safety issue on this set and while Gutierrez-Reed was part of it, the showrunners clearly were too by not taking steps to address it before the tragedy happened.

We had a strong candidate in 2016 and the DNC literally committed fraud to deny him a nomination.
