Also worth noting that most of Gabe's (and Valve's) value is not based on anyone at Valve's work, but instead based on taking a cut from every dev that sells on Steam. Valve is effectively a landlord renting out digital real estate. The fact that they're able to make obscene amounts of money suggests to me that maybe rents are too damn high.

As an individual territory, the U.S. is isolated. As an empire, we have bases on every continent. The risk isn't being killed. It's being declawed.
Not advocating for American imperialism, just clarifying the point.
I don't even know why I clicked. I knew exactly what this was.
Am I alone in thinking it was Cameron Crowe's best movie? He seems like a self-indulgent little shit, but remaking Open Your Eyes with Tom Cruise playing a millionaire incapable of self-reflection but simultaneously obsessed with torturing himself with a fake reality seemed almost inspired.
Ah, yes. One of those good Jim Crow policies.
My brother-in-law has one of these trucks. He still lives with his parents, doesn't tow or haul anything, and works as a janitor. He's paying $350/month on the loan just so he can feel cool.
I keep saying it: they need to abolish the size limit of the House. It's been frozen for 100 years while the US population has exploded. The result has been less representation for urban areas and more for rural, both in Congress and when deciding president via the electoral college. You actually normalize it so everyone's voice is heard equally? Congressional gridlock goes away. "Stolen" elections go away.
No, capitalism is feudalism with loot boxes! Because I could win the lottery.
If you've met any Long Islanders, this tracks.
That last point is why I couldn't play Fallout 4. My son was kidnapped, my spouse was killed, and I need to find out who did it and where they are! Right after I save a library, build a town, and solve some detective mysteries, I guess.
Tons. It turns out that when the government said they wanted to invest in American manufacturing and green energy, that meant giving a ton of money to an American manufacturer that is producing wind farms.
This article is four years old. GE did react and right the ship, eventually splitting into three separate companies for the three business sectors they serviced. All of them seem to be doing fine.
Because blindness isn't a disability in the Federation. Geordi lives a full and happy life, and, as OP mentioned, is actually able to save the entire crew specifically because he's blind.
"Fixing" his blindness in a compassionate, post-scarcity world that has the tools to allow someone to succeed no matter what physical characteristics they possess is like "fixing" a baby's hair color. It doesn't make the child's life easier, so what's the point other than eugenics?
