1. @ bolded: Bad example, most games that sell well in Europe are either made there or in Japan. The movie industry would have been a much better example imo.

If most conservatives believe in some control, then why do they always cheer when even some of the most basic controls get removed? I fear most conservatives, at least elected ones (not necessary their voters) are more anarcho-capitalists economically speaking then you think.

2. Yes, the top 1% pay 40% of the taxes. They used to pay much more, though - and the economy was thriving. For instance, remember when AOC advocated for a 70% top tax for everybody who earns over 10M (and, just for those who don't fully understand it, it means only the part above 10M will be taxed at 70%, not all of it)? Well, under Eisenhower the Tax rate for an equivalent income  was actually 90%. And both the economy was booming and new businesses, small and large, sprung up during those times. The millionaires of today don't pay enough taxes, period. They accumulate more and more wealth while the bottom 75% are quickly getting poorer and poorer.

3. I can't hear that "it's just optional"bullcrap anymore. let's apply that to real life, shall we. You'll get a 30sqm studio with a single bad and table, a pinto as your car, and a 10$ a day salary without any insurance coverage. not good enough for you? It's just optional, you got what you need to live, so be happy! Of course, we can give you a sedan for the totally not overpriced $300.000 or an 70sqm condo unit for $5.000.000. Or just a new set of clothes for $10.000. Just ask your bank to wire us the money. This is how that "optional" works, it's just highly exploitative crap.  I'd rather buy a full game at 80 or 100$ than those chopped-up abominations from the AAA publishers for 15$ and having to work (not just play, not having fun, work!) hard just to get some locked-away content. they are made super grindy just to push you into the in-game stores and buy stuff so you can start actually having some fun with their games.

Also, Netflix for 5$? It just got raised to 14$. But in any case, that works against your case. Look what you get for that money and what you get today for a 60$ game. I'd rather pay 4 months for Netflix than for a AAA 60$ game, as even just one month of Netflix has vastly more, and much better, content.

Gamepass is only worth it if there are many games in there you like, play a lot of hours in those games and don't mind paying over and over even whenthere's not much anymore that you still play and don't mind that you are just  renting games, never owning them.

4. But many don't accept those proofs. Like I said, I'm using Udemy, (and skillshare and Alison courses by the way, and in all cases it the same problem) but I have yet to find an employer to accept their certificates. it's just worthless for them because they are not certified for teaching those (with certified I mean they delivered a proof to an authority that they can teach that) (and if you want to know what I'm learning, it's languages (Tagalog and Japanese) and programmation (Unity, CSS, SEO and Web developer).

Okey my number 1 pick Beto who I said would faceroll the democratic primary is betting my expectations, he is a stronger candidate than I thought and it was just announced he beat bernie and raised $6,1 million in 24 hours (bernie 5,9). He will wipe out the democratic candidates with ezz and beat Donald Trump with kindness.

Beto reminds me a lot of that evil machine from Terminator 1 (played by Arnold Schwarzenegger), he is almost impossible to stop. Ted Cruz barely manage to do it, can any democratic candidate stop this machine? I don't think so.

Yeah, I've been watching a few of Beto O'Rourke's stuff, and I don't get at all what he's trying to do.

What do you Americans see in these politicians with all the rapid hand-gestures and word salads that don't really say anything?

With those mannerisms, the Beto guy looks like he's trying to audition for a mockumentary on Adolf Hitler.
