  1. Rubbing is racing?
  2. I will admit that I thought by the time the playoffs got to 12 the bitching and moaning about being "left out" would be very much marginalized. Well here we are.. LULZ I do like the idea of nuking Conference Championships and having that week be initial round of an expanded field. Ideally if that can or could have been tied into the historical bowl games I think we could have ended up with a blend of old and new that would be really pretty cool.
  3. I'm all for that. Eventually we will get to a point where the government won't or can't(hopefully the former before the latter) prop up excessive risk takers. At this point that change in expectations is really going to fucking hurt.
  4. the video rant's initial complaint is that the government subsidized the market participants with tax breaks and now consumers are getting screwed. So no it isn't, "unfettered capitalism" that is the root of this situation. And if there are illegal actions being taken by the manufacturers then yes, the government should prosecute those cases. However, generally I am not in favor of price controls or market interventions forcing markets to be serviced because of a government bureaucrats interpretation of "fair".
  5. Sorry you don't believe market economics and prefer to autoerotically asphyxiate yourself to pictures of Karl Marx's taint.
  6. FIFY Businesses respond to market conditions. Someone will respond to the subtextual higher than market returns offered by the doubled in price DDR5 consumer system memory market, OR the consumer market has been subsidized in the recent past.
  7. Not a regular McD diner but will drive-thru every month or so in a pinch mostly because kids like it. Some time in the summer decided that I would go in to order because I needed to use the bathroom. This particular McD has completely eliminated any staffed checkstands. Only a stainless shelf area for Uber Eats pickups and self order kiosk. I did try to interact with the kid shuttling food to the pickup area because our order took about 20 min versus the 5 or less it would have through the drive-thru. No idea what that anecdote sample means in regards to how many McD stores have been modified to that configuration but they are certainly already taking labor out
