Exactly! This is why this was added. It doesn't take away from the people who group to push hard content. It just allows casual people to experience the game.

This content is the lowest common denominator. It is the easiest baby mode raid. You do not get end game gear (except for weird kinda quest rewards you get for beating the last boss on any difficulty). This is literally only there so someone who doesn't interact with people or cannot physically do the raid for disability or skill can expirance it and see the cutscenes. This is inclusion not erosion.

There is still a large community around the harder contents and if you want real gear you have to still group.

I think it could matter in some cases. Like if there was a local election and I didn't know the candidates very well but one was endorsed by the NAACP, I would be much more likely to vote for them.

I agree however, that for such large elections where everything is very publicized already, these endorsements don't do much. However, if it gets one person to vote that's positive.

I couldn't care less about the D-pad. All that matters is how it feels in my hand and access to the primary controls like joysticks, triggers, and face buttons.

X-Box 360. I have an old official one for my PC. I played Dark Souls with it so it is now ingrained into my body. Also all the years of Halo.

I really dislike the X-Box One controller. Feels too big in my hand and just off.

I fear the day my wired one breaks since they stopped making official wired ones for PC.

Not the part they are upset with. This particular example it's with welfare. Seeing it as people getting money for not working.

A lot of people also don't understand the benefits taxes provide as you described but not what I am talking about.

I thought for sure the featured pic was a Femroe from FF14.

I have been thinking about this as well. I am sure there is some probelm with a spending side tax rather than income. Probably subversion of the tax. Undertable deals, street vendors, etc. With income they make the company track and get their cut before you are able to subvert anything.

Also our economy is very credit based with the use of credit cards. If taxes were all collected at point of sale there might be probelms with defaulting and who gets the money if people don't pay.

I am not an economist. I am sure someone has thought of it already.

It's a really hard mindset to break because at it's surface it make sense. Especially when you focus on fringe cases.

Like I am sure there are people who abuse the system, but it's not a good life, they don't make that much off of it. No one is living large off welfare. The "welfare queen" stereotype had been by and large disproven, but has left a lasting effect on people's opinion.

Personally I rather have a few $ slip through and make sure kids arn't starving.

A big part of it is the view that the left "gives money away". Union jobs are typically labor with long hous and their view is that "I work hard for the money I eared and my taxes go to the lazy".

I think that's bullshit obviously, but that is a pretty common sentiment from my experience.

He's so close! Somehow his racism took him down a weird convoluted path and ended up with gun control.
