    Would that be considered Ironic?

     

    The original Robinhood stole from the rich and gave to the poor. The app "Robinhood" blocked transactions made by small shareholders (which looks like they decided to fleece small shareholders to protect the big ones).

     

    Here's an article. Sorry, it's in French, but I don't trust Murican press anymore. The French press is not perfect (far from it), but it's more honest IMHO.

    What do you know the MSM is smearing Wall Street Bets as alt right. :rofl:

     

    Elites don't like when they lose money to regular people, fuck em!

     

    I like what these kids from Reddit did. :rofl::rofl:

     

    Hedge funds like Melvin Capital plead for free market all day, but when they have it, they cry their eyes out. :Amelie_wft:

     

    As for the MSM, saying the word "alt right" is like blowing Pavlov's whistle: it signals all the NPCs that they have to be angry (the signal bypasses their brains :rolleyes:). It's like when Disney's press called us "Russian trollbots" for not liking TLJ...

     

    Thankfully, our press here in France is much more factual (even if they are not perfect either).

    Season 2: it keeps getting better.

     

    I actually start to think it's better than the movies (certainly better than the sequels - it might be a tie with the original movie).

    The debate on minimal wage is not easy. Otherwise we'd all have a unique solution for all countries and everything would be fine. Politicians who claim to have obvious solutions with no drawbacks whatsoever are either demagogues or people who think economics is an exact science, which is not the case (far from it).

     

    A too low minimal wage means "working poor". A too high minimal wage means unemployement.

     

    All the Keynesian arguments are partly true and their relevance depends on the perimiter. But the thing is that we're in a connected world. Producers in a given country are in competition (at least partly) with other countries.

    The minimal wage in India is around 1$ per hour (and 1.5$ in China). Not all jobs are in competition with international markets (e.g. hairdressers are not) and the wage is not the only part of production costs, so it's more complicated than that. But you can't ignore what happens elsewhere if your country is open.

     

    It's not all black and white. 7$ per hour is low for a Western economy. But 15 $ per hour is VERY high. But you guys do what you want. You'll see. Learning by experience is the best way.

    I just wanted to get this of my chest.

     

    This situation in Netherlands is making the headlines in here (France) too. I heard about it, quite a lot, they fear that it'll happen here too. Things are becoming crazy. I don't recognize the world in many ways these days. I'm sure things will be better in the end, but let's hope it's going to be sooner, rather than later.

     

    Stay safe and try to stay away from the loonies.

     

    The patches show that the developpers needed at least a couple of months. Back in Summer 2020, I'm sure the management knew this. Of course there was the pressure from gamers and the investors to release it early, but if the management had been more rational/thoughtful, they would've delayed the old gen console versions and focused on the PC version (and maybe next gen). With the good feedbacks from PC gamers, then they would've released the old gen versions a couple of months later, just to make them cleaner.

     

    When pressure is too high, some people can't manage it. That's too bad.

    CDPR has denied this as fan-fiction via their twitter

     

    Of course that's what they would say. That doesn't mean it's not a real testimony (nor does it prove it is). It's up for interpretation, but given all the details the guy gives I think it's true (though we'll never be able to be sure).
