Valve could also just stop allowing people to turn the gift card money back into real cash. It would be trivial to implement this with a bit of goodwill. But i get your point

But there will always be some form of gift card. if not steam gift card people will buy apple or google play cards. Its a sad thing going of with the scamming but honestly a physical gift card still beats a print out of an email on a piece of paper.

No I think this is an awful move. Digital Gift Cards will still be available. And I think for gifting its actually really nice to still have.

I dont use or like Brave that much but its definitely not Malware. This is how we lose normies. They use google chrome or whatever and infighting tells them “look this significantly more private product is awful”. We kinda gotta stop doing that. That had some scretchy incidents with referral links but their BAT thing is like whatever. You dont have to use it. Their defaults are much more private then all the other mainstream chromium browsers. And it Open Source. I also think their development for their search engine has been interesting.

Lets see if Brave will hold. Im gonna keep sticking to Firefox tho

Yes, that is very reasonable and has been the standard in most developed nations for a while now outside the US. Although in the US it would quickly be decried as “communism” or whatever (ignoring the fact the US healthcare system is the most expensive in the world)

I wasn’t arguing against wealth distribution. Im just saying its crazy to believe if everyone were millionaire, everyone could afford what current millionaires can afford. I think the wealth assessment of few individuals is a systematic failure of capitalism. No individual can work enough that they should have a million times that of the average citizen. I think having certain variation in pay grade and wealth can be okay if it serves the best interest of the public and entices people to work hard. The economy would be driven by spending, yes but that spending would devalue money quickly. Also billionaires have most money in company shares, land etc, not liquid cash. Inheritance and wealth tax can do a decent amount to reduce inequality I believe. A good social safety net would also make the US a much better place for the average citizen.

People are just misunderstanding my argument. Although I don’t think violent means like mentioned here are the way to go. But what am I even saying we are in a shitpost community after all.

And knowing this makes me even more upset without anything to direct my anger at than myself

And half the country who voted with him

What… Bu- But the Brexit people told me we were gonna sayve 200 million pounds for NHS a year. This can’t be!

Hey… rich people buy houses too! If they want the plot of land beneath it they just rip out and replace the house with something fancy

Money would be devalued quite a bit, since production capacity doesnt randomly jump. If everyone is rich, no one is

Is it? I dont think so actually

Poor guys, they’ll starve before that happens

I think its a good thing as many Russians as possible that oppose the war can leave Russia. This makes it harder for Russia to keep their country and economy afloat and potentially reduces the people they can draft to fight. Its just theres also a decent risk of espionage which is why I think some countries, like Poland that border Russia shouldn’t have to allow Russians with European Visas to enter their country since its a security risk.

Depends on inflation and if the service increases/decreases in value for the customer. This is really the personal and hard to measure part.

Yeah if only they switched to wayland already! Damn X11 still living on to this day

Sadly our part of the trade deal is 15% tariffs on our part flat and in reverse we put 0% tariffs on anything

There are also decent cheap rings with artificial diamonds (that are better quality than the human slave labor ones). You just have to have this agreement with your partner, that overpaying for a bloody rock is in no way sense or form beneficial and you could do much better things with the rest of the money for the two of you.
