Hence the movement of converting business zoning to residential homes is required in the transition. Its one of the best ways to avoid nimbys stopping the construction (as the building already exists) and increase practical housing, and reintroduce people back into its local economy.

I would have responded with how many gen y/z are in congress right now if someone was that optimistic.

Its hard to hear it in circles because its a jrpg first (which on its own, is a niche) and only on PS5 at the moment, which not everyone has. Theres about 40m ps5 sold, and less than a tenth has bought the game.

The game industry doesnt pay enough to get the good workers. Its honestly a terrible industry to go in unless you have passion for it.

Are you about to bring up skies of all things, and compare to a space game with multiple skies due to having multiple planets?

Its the consumption of of water. One of the plants that is likely targeted by the tax is alfalfa, which is a plant used for animal feed. The top importers of alfalfa is china, uae and saudi arabia. Alfalfa is a very water intensive plant and most of its grown in the southwest/California.

It basically makes states $ at the cost that its a huge water drainer. Albeit not Arizona, keep in mind in california, resident use of water is only like 5% of the supply, and wouldnt be suprised of Arizona would be similar. Were in a drought basically to subsidize the price of poultry/cattle for other major nations

that's partly due to the Japanese government being run by old people and not the new generation. It's the same way with japans opinions about other opponents and history in ww2 trying to downplay their actions.

The problem with Epics approach is theyre doing competition for devs, not compition for consumers.

Compition for content usually comes at the cost of consumer convenience or benefit (e.g the multitude of streaming platforms for movies and videos)

Because piracy is often a service problem and not always a price one. If a pirate can offer you a better service, people will pay for it.

If you only see piracy as a price issue, then it would make sense why you dont understand why people do it.

Take for example, pretty shitty android boxes preloaded with various kodi streams. Say if you speak a niche language in the U.S for example, and want media in that language, some people would be willing to pay for a (pretty shitty) android tv box that has warez steams of saidncontent because thr legal methods isnt easy to obtain nor have the technological knowlege to properly pirate.

The weather is one of the largest reasons people migrate to california.

Even if your homeless, its of the few states where you could be outside year round and not die due to the more extreme points of weather that you would experience in mamy other states
