They do. There are games on the PS5 store (digital ones) for more than 90 dollars. There are a few games I've seen upwards of 100 quid, which is about 130 dollars.

The only time you want credits at the start is if you're running late to the cinema.

Both. I was banned for using a slur. I was quoting a movie in a post about that movie (Glengarry Glenross). It was in quotation marks and everything.

I made a new account and was banned a month later for being racist. It was on a video of a train and I said something like 'why did I feel when that started like some Indian guy was going to die foolishly?'

Racist, apparently.

Everyday I think I've heard the stupidest thing come out of the US, and they somehow trump it the very next day. Remarkable.

I think saying it is short term is very hopeful. The ripples of this will be felt for many years. You can't suddenly magic manufacturing infrastructure and supply chains into existence. It's a long road to do that with seemingly no plan in the interim, and I've no doubt that tariffs will be changed many times at his whim, so it's hard for anyone to set up any manufacturing business when they can't get a solid grip on their costs, given the need to import raw materials and components.

Making items on home soil for your own market is a good idea but it takes a lot of time, and the general feeling in the rest of the world is that countries will want to import fewer US goods, so export markets for the US will dwindle, and I doubt there is enough buying power in the US to get the growth he wants, particularly when these products made on US soil will undoubtedly cost more to the consumer than they currently do, and with stagnating wages and high cost of living as part of the equation.

I'm sure he'll start selling to his Russian buddies when the time comes, but doubt that will be enough to fix his mess.

There was no war with manufacturing partners. Trump started one with his silly plan. He doesn't understand tariffs at all, and that'll be to the detriment of the average Joe. Things will be more expensive to produce (the US relies heavily on imports and doesn't have a strong manufacturing base for most products). Raw materials will still need to be imported, and you can bet the importers will charge the US more for them in retaliation.

The best solution was to let sleeping dogs lie, but the Fantascist wouldn't understand this. He's either an economically clueless buffoon or is shorting the market so his ilk can benefit.

Depends how old you are.

Can't say I've ever bookmarked anything to read later.

Non-science based? The science disagrees.
