You will not be propositioned by swingers.

Gen X is too small to matter. Millennials are stepping up and will compete with Boomers for a little while until they finally take over. Thing about Millennials though is that it is a very K shaped generation. About half have had decent success and are conservative/liberal and the other half have been absolutely crushed so it's kind of a mixed bag and as long as the Boomers have any influence not much is likely to change. GenZ is bigger than Millennials though and should be right behind them. They are very different and much more politically radical, on both the left and right. Things are likely to change with them.

Well this election isn't about reading anymore. It's about who's still alive on election day.

Biden will lose. This is a critical juncture, just like 2016, and the Dems are going to fuck it up again, and then blame the voters for not voting when they had every opportunity as a party to correct their shit and not put a person who actually can't form coherent sentences as their candidate.

If this is the best they can do, then the party needs major reforms. They are handing this to Trump.

Lmao at being downvoted for asking for tangible examples. Platitudes don't win elections, folks. See 2016.

The article cherry-picks data to reach it's conclusions. Unemployment is not the best it's every been. It has been rising rapidly, it's up half a percent in the last year, and this print was the first pause we've had since March. Unemployment is rising due to Fed fighting inflation with higher interest rates. The higher interest rates are the reason inflation is coming down and Biden has done nothing to address that. The only thing he did was dump our oil reserves on the market when gas prices were rising early in the inflation cycle. That was 2 years ago.

List the best action he has taken for each of these.

Biden has also had 0 impact on that. The Fed is managing that because Congress doesn't do anything but pass legislation for lobbyists and the Fed is also driving up unemployment as a result.

He has done nothing to directly impact the economy. We are in a money-printing generated gilded age where life is tolerable for most and better than ever for a few. As soon as something breaks, everyone below the top 10% will be thrown on the street into abject poverty and we are all just waiting around for that to happen.

There's nothing left about the DNC establishment. You need to update your terminology to be taken seriously.

She stood for literally nothing. Just like Biden. And the DNC was caught cheating during the early primaries to thwart Bernie. Just like how Biden went from 4th to 1st overnight after coordinated drop-outs in 2020. At least they didn't actively commit fraud like in 2016 I guess.

Her husband was a neoliberal who cheated on her with a subordinate while in office. Welcome to reality

That's the thing about Bernie. He's hard to smear. Unlike, "my husband cheated on me while serving as President" Hillary. You're delusional.

Companies don't spin-off new competition. That would get everyone of the executives and the board fired. They kill competition. That's why it's mergers and acquisitions. Not spin-offs that meet the needs of consumers.

Chinese reselling is the most profitable business model. Etsy is a public company and must choose the most profitable business model. The idea that a publicly traded company will have it's primary business model being selling handcrafted goods is asinine.

Not attacking anyone that didn't see this coming, I'm just commenting on how stupid it is that every company feels the need to go public in our culture of greed regardless of their mission and place in the market.

Nah, they failed because of the Saturn which is one of the worst console flops in history. Dreamcast was just a last ditch effort to regain relevancy and beat the other guys to the punch. Too late once the PS1 was successful.

Also, Genesis was more appealing to adults. That's why it competed with the SNES so well. American adults at the time (prime aged boomers) were much more won over by Genesis's more mature marketing and appeal to American values versus Nintendo which was decidedly marketed to children.

If they had released later it would have been worse. Sega's downfall was the Saturn which was just garbage compared to the N64 and PS1. Dreamcast was their last ditch effort to release a truly next-gen system before the big boys rocked up with all their cash.

Not gaming related.

I was straight like you once. Then I took a dick to the ass.
