Maybe Goldman Sachs. Manipulation of many markets, both contributed to and profited from the 2008 crash. Which they paid a $550mil settlement for when they're like a $100bil company. Imagine making $50k a year, committing fraud ("misleading its investors") at a national scale affecting millions, and getting fined $250.

Also manipulation of gas prices, food supply/prices, insider trading, they're just the freaking worst.

Death is light as a feather

Duty heavy as a mountain

Yeah, I counted at least 50 stacks of $20 bills. Usually those stacks are 100 bills each, so over $100k in that pic.

No scratches seems crazy to me, I purposely carry nothing else in the pocket with my phone but they always end up with scratches.

Yeah and how do I sign up

The only famous douche I know that's very good at chess is Andrew Tate lol

He knows what he has no lowballs

The numbers come from an overly simple way to level out trade deficits.

So if I sell you $100 in goods and you sell me $120 dollars in goods, I'm "losing" money, therefore 20% tariff (tax to sell me something). In reality, you're going to increase your prices and sell me $140 worth of the same stuff.

All the AIs did was expand this to a global scale, what's insane to me is that the math adds up. It doesn't take an AI to do this though, some economics undergrad could come up with the same thing. Understanding the underlying methodology shows how it completely lacks nuance or understanding of how the world really works.

An unexceptional game? That game was awesome. All the fluidity of the Arkham games but LotR themed. Just don't look too closely at the lore lol it's not canon.

I'm inclined to agree

I tend to leave holes in drywall at the slightest provocation, so it just kinda fit.

It's terrifying that this is plausible.

Lol, we try for every other week, about 2.5-3 hour sessions.

Exactly my thought. If you don't have a session once a month where you look around and ask "are we the baddies?" then what the heck are we doing here.

My guess is that they're doing it in waves. I've been hearing about it removed for weeks, only happened to me a few days ago.

Fuck you I'll see you tomorrow

Me too!

Honestly this is insane to me given the Trump crowd skews much older.

Literally the generation growing up in the Cold War, having evil Soviets ingrained in them from childhood, and now Russia being happy with our policies doesn't raise a red flag for them? Our President being pals with the ex-KGB Putin doesn't mean anything to them? Hello??

Honestly I'm just sad we already had a program like this. I didn't read the NYT article but ones from NPR and AP, didn't go into much detail about the existing one.

Idk, maybe if the money went to approved charities or cancer research foundations? Instead of a business for jobs, which isn't inherently bad, but easily exploitable. I'm guessing this new system will be worse and have fewer restrictions.
