That would be freaking awesome if it actually runs on a regular computer and not computer we'll have 5 years from now (as was the case for a lot of emulators when they started working on them)

How beefy of a PC would you need for that?

Ah yes, not a good person even when it would be advantageous to you, sorry I forgot you're actively trying to be an asshole lmao We had already established that, sorry.

Because maybe, just maybe, you're a good person?

Oh and also because pretty much every economist agrees that lower inequalities are better for the economy. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

It sounds absolutely great in theory, but in practice it could never work.

Say I want to build a house: As a society, we've come up with mandatory building codes that tell me how to build a house that's going to be safe for everyone.

Suppose we got rid of this regulation for libertarianism's sake.

Most people would still build to code because that's just the smart thing to do but a small proportion of people would build it the cheapest way possible because it is now their god-given right to do so.

When that house inevitably fails at the worst possible time, I don't care too much about what happens to the guy himself. He understood the risk and did it anyways. But in a worst case scenario, he could've been hosting a kids party that day or something.

Now apply this analogy to.. Basically any regulation you'd want to get rid of.

It's kind of always a balancing act between stopping people from killing each other from sheer stupidity, and letting them do and say whatever the fuck they want when they're between their own four walls, and pure libertarianism doesn't allow for that.

Billionaire is already a slur.

No one makes that much money without screwing over and abusing other people. There are no ethical billionaires.

Nah what I'm saying is that most states' taxation rates are pretty close to what you'd get in other developed countries.

Except pretty much every other developed country has cheap healthcare and education. The US is truly alone in this, and it shows, because the US also has some of the worst inequalities of the modern world.

Discuss this free agents crop, what you think about how your team is doing, the trades, etc.

Because mediocrity is so much more important than diversity.

Of course they do.

As we say: "Police partout, Justice nullepart".

At this point, Microsoft has become a pretty big publisher, moreso than a console manufacturer.

Of course they would like exclusives to go away, that means selling their own games to more people, and distributing Sony's games on their platforms.

Both combined would easily make them more money than selling consoles.

I would definitely expect the Venn diagram of neo-nazis and Karens who give trouble to retail workers to look a lot like a circle.
