Sometimes I have to turn off the screen and go for a walk. This cyberpunk dystopia sucks. Doesn't match at all what we imagined 40 years ago. It's kind of lame. No style. And instead of cool technology, it's just junk designed to rob you of time and money.
If an author wrote about a future where every child has a slot machine in their pocket, we would have mocked him for the ridiculous and pointless idea.
I remember simpler times when you could smoke or raid your parents liquor cabinet to be the cool kid. And you could make a lot of friends just by smoking weed while learning how to play a few hair band riffs on guitar.
Kids these days have it way harder. And it takes a huge financial investment to socialize with their peers.
Have two PCs, one for games and a cheap laptop for regular computing. Best of both worlds, plus you can watch porn on both, something that isn't practical on a console. (Especially Nintendo)
Yet you aren't bitching when someone gets money to drill for oil. Curious bias you have.
I like to wait until after a catastrophe before I mutter: why didn't anyone warn us?
Turns out Trumps first term economy was momentum from Obama and held up by ZIRP so now he's sweaty for those low rates to bail him out.
It was a joke about how much people were paying for PS5 on ebay for a while. Sorry it fell kind of flat.
I knew you couldn't help yourself. Good luck with all that.
Who tested it? The test came from Targeted Victory a conservative consulting group and the NYP article links to this "demonstration video" of them sending bare links and one got flagged whihc while worthy of further investigation says really nothing.

This is a matter for the courts or some type of public investigation before the FTC starts enacting widespread rule changes.
government was providing funds for universities, meaning they got the educated workforce while the taxpayer funded it.
This is a clownshoes way to view the great American economy. If those people become educated and create new products that adds to the collective economy.
This libertarian pipe dream of "oh the markets and needs of society will always naturally align" just is not true and never has been true.
doubt the corporations that rely on new university graduates to make money to just let the universities die because the federal government pulled back on funds.
This is a strawman, nobody said "let them die" but there is a shitload of base level research that is publicly funded that leads to businesses started around it. You are revealing how little you know how this works no matter how many words you write because this is ideology, not reality.
You expect funds from the government don't come with strings "to control facts" attached? I need some clarity here.
The Trump admin does not care "is this research worth pursuing or not" they are concerned with "does this match our ideology" and "are these universities loyal enough to the admin"
If people want the federal government to pay for their education then there's still options.
That is not what I or anyone is talking about, another strawman. I don't know if you live in America but outside of a Pell grant the USG does not pay for college.
Also so you like the military as a Federal jobs program eh? I wonder why that is? Oh because it aligns with your political ideology.
If your response is more than 2 paragraphs I ain't reading it.
I'll ask again: are Federal grants the same as corporate grants? Do they carry the same rules and expectations? The answer is no.
To your second sentence I agree with you but that's the failure of Congress (specifically Republicans in Congress) to care about their own Constitutional power over Federal dollars. I would say what Trump is doing is clearly illegal impoundment but if the majority in the House and Senate don't care, we elected brazen lawbreakers.
The institutions are not self-enforcing.
That's about $1200 today for a game console. So relatively cheap compared to PS5, which doesn't even have a number pad on its controllers.

"Yes
I want to count every pore in the newscaster's face.
The trouble with doing something right the first time is that nobody appreciates how difficult it was.
