re: Pax Dei - Alpha Testing starts soon
Posted by Bard on 4/26/24 at 9:36 am
I got into Alpha 2 this week (the "wilderness alpha"), it's been an interesting time.
The game, at least thus far (it's still in alpha, after all) is much more of a hobby-style game than "I'm just looking to kill a few minutes".
There's definitely combat (PVE and PVP), dungeons, crafting and...

Yeah, that's a worry I mentioned in a couple of posts earlier this week. Considering how hard Jerome has been trying to thread that "soft landing" needle, I'm concerned he's going to use the GDP drop as a foundati...

You and I both. I just went back looking over old MT and Poli posts for when I first started calling it an inevitability, but the history seems to go back only to last Fall when searching for "soft landing" or even just "landing" and I know I was saying it...

We now have CPI, PPI, and PCE inflation rising for 2 straight months.

[quote]Won’t just the possibility of this drive a lot of selling in 2024?[/quote]
No. One of the quickest ways to lose votes is to tell people you are going to raise taxes if you are (re)elected. There are those on the Left who will knee-jerk assume you mean "only on the rich" but the DNC has p...

[quote]It should be because even Trump's spending pre-Covid was at a level greater than Obama's. [/quote]
False. From FY2009-FY2012 we had $1T+ annual deficits. None of Trump's pre-COVID deficits were even $1T (although 2019 got close).

[quote]Someone ELI5 and help me out here.[/quote]
The easy part is: taxing unrealized gains is well outside the scope of the 16th Amendment (per SCOTUS precedent and common sense). As such, if Congress passed such a bill and the President signed it into law, it would get stayed within 1 second o...
