Definitely over a thousand. I've been playing games since the 80's on my NES and 386 computer.

I have around 1200 games in my Steam library due to bundling and giveaways. Most of those games will never be played since nowadays I have limited time for entertainment and most games aren't worth the time investment.

That's exactly what's happening.

They're providing funds based on the face value of the bonds purchased which won't reach maturity for 10 years instead of the actual market value of said bonds. Imagine if you went into a bank to refinance and said you wanted the value of your home ten years in the future, would any bank accept such a deal?

In a capitalist system, everything is worth what the market values it at. That's why in the housing collapse in the mid-2000s people were upside down on their mortgages. The market correction caused the market value of those homes to drop below the amount owed on the existing mortgages.

What's going on with the fed and SVB is a distortion of capitalism and will only create bigger problems in the future.

It's a dangerous game. The media went full retard proclaiming that we must do anything and everything to help Ukraine and the good little lemmings rushed to put up their Ukraine flags and declared it the new cause de jour but now what?

The people "in charge" most likely assumed that arming Ukraine would just prolong the conflict a bit and give Russia a bloody nose, but now that Russia is actually on the ropes and the west keeps pouring weapons into Ukraine we've quickly blown by bloody nose and have created an existential threat to Russia that could lead to the use of Nuclear weapons. The "adults in the room" now can't pump the breaks because our state-run media has convinced the lemmings that even suggesting peace talks or any off-ramp is tantamount to treason and makes someone a Putin puppet.

I guess in clown world if the world ends by way of nuclear fire caused directly by idiotic virtue signaling it would be somewhat fitting.
