In addition to the math bullshit I want to point out (again) that government can fudge the figures further by saying "electronics got cheaper". If food and energy cost more but electronics got cheaper they can squash the two together to produce one number which is slightly lower at the end.
Even "electronics got cheaper" is a lie. They get better so govt assumes that the same or equivalent product is cheaper when really the price floor stays the same. For example: a year ago the cheapest TV might cost $200 and today the cheapest might still be $200 but they can claim the newer one is better making the equivalent cheaper. Problem is the cheaper equivalent doesn't exist you still need to pay $200.
Does this post change your mind, even slightly? https://kotakuinaction2.win/p/19AxC3nZ7C/surprising-bit-of-sanity-from-th/c/
Maybe he should consider the other option: the disclaimer "this movie reflects the beliefs of the period in which it was made". The change in beliefs being that the parents would now be arrested at the end of the 1st one for child endangerment.
Money: the one chokehold they can use to ensure compliance across jurisdictions. They can say to banks or credit cards "if you keep allowing X then we will treat you as though are X" and money men don't care they will shut out X

I have a nice abridged version of Master and Commander on 4 CDs, read by Robert Hardy, very good. I've been meaning to look for an unabridged. I have Andy Serkis reading The Hobbit, several CDs I forget how many. Its alright but mostly another excuse for him to do Gollum again. I listened to Harry Potter, all of them, read by Stephen Fry. Very long.
As a child I liked the Jedi Academy trilogy on tape (yeah cassette tape). Only 4 sides each, abridged. I really should find it again. I had a nice version of The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe. Now I am reminded I also had a BBC radio drama version of The Hobbit too. I had a couple of Roald Dahl books on tape, one of which might have been read by him.
I thought they were hot shit as a teen and remember genuinely laughing my ass off after renting them from the video store. Now that I have seen all the jokes they aren't as funny but still enjoyable when I see one. Not sure which one I like best but the earlier ones are better.
Who and who? Isn't Billy Mitchel the guy infamous for allegedly cheating at Donkey Kong. What the fuck do these comments about suicide mean? Actually I'm not sure I care enough. Don't tell me. Leave me ignorant.
[EDIT] I shouldn't have read this thread. https://kotakuinaction2.win/p/19AwtLQkYb/billy-mitchell-wins-his-defamati/c/
Simcity 4. Well I would be playing it right now instead of typing this if it hadn't crashed a minute ago.
