See, that's bullshit because you can't be outraged that Harvard admits foreigners but also pretend to not care about or be affected by Harvard at all.

This however highlights the fact that foreign students used to be a source of revenue for the USA. This is wealthy European money that was getting spent in America but now will likely be spent somewhere else.

This is also denying American Harvard business students the opportunity to establish lucrative connections with European money. You've heard of "it's not what you know, it's who you know"? Poor Harvard students on a full scholarship who plan on setting up their own business someday could have benefitted from being classmates with the future queen of Belgium.

My point being that even if you fully subscribe to "America first", this is still a really dumb policy that's shooting America in the foot. Foreign students studying in America were, by definition, bringing money into America. No longer.

What you consider proof and what I consider proof might be different, so do you have a link to show what, SPECIFICALLY, you're talking about? I'm not saying you're wrong I'm just saying I don't believe stuff randos on the Internet tell me unless they have links so I can know what they know

And he always proudly points out that he himself has never been personally bankrupt. Somehow, the fact that he always manages to bankrupt his investors instead of himself was seen as a good reason why America should become his next big investor.

I would say that:

-O'Brien keeps the machines running

-Bashir keeps O'Brien alive

-The black markwt keeps the economy running

-Quark keeps the black market running

-Rom and Leeta keep Quark's running

-Odo keeps Quark in check

-Sisko's reputation for DGAF ruthlessness keeps the Cardassians away

-Garak keeps an ear to the ground for the rare occasions when the Cardassians dare to plot fuckery

-Keiko keeps the kids from turning feral

-Kira keeps Bajor happy with the Federation setup

-Dax is also there

I would develop some city neighborhoods and set up some community land trusts to run them.

Alternatively, and I'm playing devil's advocate here, but maybe there was more concern that someone might try to assassinate Luigi. After what happened with Jeffrey Epstein, authorities might have figured "the people will lose their minds if Luigi dies in custody, so let's not take any chances".

Interesting! Added to my wishlist.

I honestly think it would be interesting to play a game by sound alone, where you play as a blind person (maybe Daredevil or Zatoichi or something) and you navigate the world by listening. Ironically, it'd probably need to be on a VR headset so that the game can detect you turning/tilting your head and adjust the stereo balance accordingly.

Maybe Zatoichi would be best, as you could hear an enemy swinging a sword like "SHING" and "SWOOSH" etc, and maybe that would give you enough information to block or dodge. You'd probably also need haptic feedback to tell you when your blade connects.

Maybe there could be graphics, but only to recreate the sense of smell, like the screen is pure black except when you smell something and then a word appears on the screen like "rose" or "blood" etc.
