It's... A good-ish game in my opinion. Unfortunately, thanks to it's lack of polish, I'm at endgame with many hours in and have been hit with multiple game breaking bugs. These items can actually be fixed via console command.... Which then automatically disables all achievements. This can be fixed by a simple mod and.... At the end of the day, I want to play a game, not submit my resume to be a developer/tester to Bethesda.
Now.... Do the other 49 states.
So, the core of his argument is clearly just a troll's attempt to get a rise out of everyone and I don't really want to engage any further with it because I have places to be today.
But what's been bothering me lately is that many of us, myself included, are acting like these are things that are happening to us, as if we have no agency in the matter. Perhaps, at this point, we don't. If the government isn't addressing our wishes, why aren't we fielding and voting for candidates that will?
Aren't you just adorable? : )
He.... does have a point. I haven't really seen anyone attack his premises, only the way he's presented them. Our shanty towns grow larger and more numerous by the day it seems, along with injustices like that mentioned in the article. There are 330 million of us and we're kinda letting this happen.
That said.... psh. We could still kick his ass?
I mean, honestly, this is a rather unfair assessment.
It's not just our jail system. It's pretty much the entire judicial system at every step of the way, from a traffic stop to eventual execution.
Were you around in 1989 when Exxon basically destroyed Prince William Sound with an iceberged oil tanker through a comically evil set of circumstances including a possibly drunken captain, faulty equipment which languished for months, promised equipment that was never installed, and a total lack of planning for contingency? They dumped like 11 million gallons of oil and were assigned massive punitive damages of 5 billion bucks?
....and then it got appealed all the way to the supreme court, where it got busted down to 500 million spread over a time which actually allowed them to see profitability for causing one of the largest ecological disasters in history.
I don't mean to sound jaded, and I truly appreciate your optimism. But the deck is no less stacked thirty years later and our political system is still bought and paid for. Let's roll the dice and hope you come out on top of this one, friend. I'll cheer alongside you.
Thanks. I appreciate that.
....can we just skip to the part where Amazon pays less than a fractional percent of their profit in fines and then proceeds with business as usual? I just feel like the charade has grown tiresome at this point.
This fucking economic system.
