    The more anyone looks at this, the worse it gets.

    Someone needs to fix this. But not me, I don't have my doctorate in memeology yet.

    The internet has a serious issue with managers, upper management, and even landlords nowadays. It's so weird to see people slip back into blaming anyone but the real grifters who provide no benefit but take a dollar for no real benefit, or the wage inequality with CSuites. Even people here are falling back into blaming people in their own wage bracket rather than looking at people who provide nothing or paid too much.

    As someone who's worked the peon doing the shit to management, so much of the issue is rooted in insurance and government mandated oversight.

    People love to hate on their manager making $20,000-40,000 more than them, but they're basically the same as you to everyone grifting or the 1%. Quit blaming them for living in a society that both WANTS and REQUIRES massive oversight.

    Running a business ethically takes far more money than anyone wants to admit.

    Running a business while making sure you follow all government regulations, codes, is insurable, and is cost efficient is even harder.

    First, get rid of for profit insurance. They should all work as collectives.

    Get rid of for profit healthcare and go single payer. Remove middlemen who provide no benefit. Quit overpaying shit like salesmen because they're a clear tick that shows more $$$$ and pay people nicely. A housekeeper making $40,000 shouldn't be $50,000 away from their manager and shouldn't be $400,000 or more away from their President. Quit overvaluing and paying a rich person to what amounts to having to have someone dedicated to sucking up to other rich people to stay alive.

    Understand that the stock market only works with infinite growth. You will need to save up exactly what you plan to use in retirement without the magic of it or compounding interest and redistribute the wealth through unionizing, and collective bargaining.

    Understand that all of it takes someone to lead and do it that will need to be paid as well. People want to live their lives happily, not sacrifice themselves and their life out of some noble goodness of their heart. Pay them appropriately and understand that if you're in these positions, you shouldn't be paid double what other people make just because you do important work. We all do.

    Remember that it takes more people to run anything that we like to admit, and that often these regulations are there for a reason. Find the real fat, and cut it while you can.

    Seriously though, blame for profit businesses that should just be government run if they're a requirement. Insurance/public health, safety/audit oversight, infrastructure, utilities, public health.

    Push for cooperatives for things that can be more privatized but get sketchy when it's all government or full on for profit, like private land ownership, private schools, banking to credit unions.

    It's sad that it takes pretty people dying to care more. The world is strange. RIP to her and Slava Ukraini.

    RIP Alexei Navalny and who knows how many countless others too.

    Wait... you can actually have someone NOT get 270 votes?

    Oh... duh... 3rd parties taking some. You think it'd just be whoever has the most electoral college votes then... Alas, needlessly complicating things.

    It feels like wasted power. You could at least be earning something off it. The creator can either take a cut if it's free or lump sum for paid. I've seen a few idle games take up a lot CPU resources, not necessarily GPU so it had me wondering. Why not make it mine?

    Has anyone else noticed that Wikis for most games just aren't as complete anymore? I'm the one helping to fill in stuff these days when I swear most games had pretty fully Wiki pages within a week of release. Have most of these just moved to actual Gaming article websites? They sure as hell haven't gone to Gamefaqs lol. I've recently played Diablo 4, Remnant 2, 30XX, Armored Core 6, and just started Have a Nice Death... and I've had to help with additions on nearly every free Wiki... Never used to have to do this...
