Why shouldnt the best actor be for the best performance regardless of which game it appears in?

was 1984 Neuromancer by WilliamGibson?

Silas Marner was so hated by my English class our teacher cried. It turns out it was what she wrote her master’s thesis on and no one agreed with her about it being good.

Because directing more wealth away from feudal authorities/noble families to private individuals was good for increasing wealth distribution. This happened at different times in different places.

Capitalism only benefits capitalists

Nah, it can benefit the rank and file provided the wealth was poorly distributed before by creating more jobs. This is exactly what happened when it was adopted by most nations in the 19th century.

Fewer people are poor despite the capitalists, not because of.

China’s for-profit business investments in Africa since 2000 are an example if capitalist policies bringing people out of poverty. Im not sure your claim has the validity you think it does.

Yet fewer people are poor because we instituted capitalist policies. Moving away from mercantilism was a great idea and benefitted most to a greater degree than mercantilism provides. Now we need to move beyond capitalism to address the failures of capitalism.

The fact is money is relative. $100k USD is a lot of money in New Guinea and is not going to buy as much in London. This is why it is perfectly acceptable for someone like Thiel to assemble a private army with his wealth while people starve because they haven’t worked the grind correctly like Musk, Thiel or the Mountbatten-Windsors have /s.

How is it the same as supply side economics?

im not sure bigotry is the goal as much as control is.

That is the USDA/USFDA advice as well. the “wash” takes place in the slaughterhouse and Europeans just use different chemicals.

Nah, Japan just takes that risk and minimizes it by butchering the chicken much closer to the time it us served. In the USA your bird was killed much earlier and preserved by chilling/freezing.

There’s no magic breed of chicken that has no salmonella.

What about all the working class folks who work in film? Not everyone on that movie set or working in that theater are ultra wealthy and in fact most are not.

You don't just not give a fuck about the elites of Hollywood. You seem to not be thinking of the working class folks there either.

Pre-COVID I went several times a week. COVID broke theater etiquette and now I dont go because I dont want to have toget an usher again because someobe feels the need to play on their phone during the movie.

 

Yesterday at 420pm Eastern Time I commented something banal and was banned from the server. This ban lasted a few hours. Any idea what happened?
