Not a fact.

Not even reality.

It causes a rude audience and sticky floors?

Now that I've loaded up with new black Friday specials, I will certainly encourage to buy used when possible.

Misread article. Didn't realize it was about hardware. My bad.

I did share! Got kid a PS5 with all the trimmings for Xmas.

Controller: $50

Headset: $100

We didn't have a dedicated tv console before, just his Switch which is 2 years old and serves duty well. I just wanted something we could hook up to the 98" tv full-time.

The key is th way a long time beteeen upgrades. We just got a PS5 (not hooked up yet). My last console was a PS2. In comparison, the graphics and everything else should be amazing.

I bought 15 ps5 games last month.

Several times more games than I've ever bought before in my life.

I did my share!

Literally all the people making money from the Oscars give a flying fuck about the Oscar's.

Maybe it will air something interesting and worth watching instead.

But I doubt it.

Besides which....the govt KNOWS I have money on payday. It has no such assurance about April 15th.

Transaction costs.

I don't need a study.

I used to eat fast food virtually every day.

Now I do so less than once per month.

I'm sure I'm not the nobly one.

All that money is going somewhere other than into the lockers of fast food workers.

Coincidentally, I went today. Let's see how long it is before I go again. Clock is ticking.

That would just inflate prices until people like me stopped going out to eat at all.

It would inflate general wages until prices went until until iud need to make $35 an hour to have the same spending power that $25 use to have.

There is no free lunch.

Fast food prices are already largely at the unreasonable level. For the same price or just a little more, you can get sit down meals, if you don't tip. But those people expect tips. Why?

Right.

And none them would be happy with a system that guaranteed them say, $25/hr, if any money (with tips) over that was distributed until everyone there was making $25/hr.

The govt doesn't pay its bills quarterly, or only at tax time. It needs money coming in every day to pay its bills every day.

Plus, it collects its money when you have it to guard against you not having it on "collection day".

It's reasonable and rational.
