I wonder if there wouldn't be these exploitative strategies employed by industries if their profit margins were capped at, say, 2 to 5 percent. Like, if a company makes more than 1.05 times its expenses, the excess is taxed by the state. Similar idea for individuals, except they get 100% marginal tax rate after the first 5 million of any kind of revenue. Call it... "maximum wage".

I don't know, just shooting the shit.
There is a lot I can say about this in my life with the hell known to men and the stuff they did to wages and other benefits over the years
But I have very strong feelings about it from then and still
Ok, So I decided to follow ContraPoints because Natalie did this Ted-like talk about being trans that was interesting. I watched her last video about getting her face done and it was really informative and insightful so I subscribed.
Now I feel like I'm kind of missing something here. I wasn't a big fan of the opening skit, so I tried to skip ahead, only to discover... the video was the skit. I started to look back at her catalog and saw that she seems to do some kind of gender related performance art with her channel. It's cool I guess, but I rather see something a little less avant garde.
the real meat of the video is I think the dialogue between Tiffany and Justine, though the opening scene with Tiffany, Baltimore, and the tv host also has some important information in it.
some of Natalie's characters seem more like parts of herself than others, and I think Tiffany and Justine are two sides of an argument she's had with herself.
A longer one from Sterling this week, going into the human cost behind modern games monetisation.
This is a very very good, very very relevant video that people should watch.
But if all the times he should've dropped the branding, this was it. "Thank God for me" is just such a clunker of a line after the harrowing previous 33 minutes.
I don't understand why Sterling expects the video game industry to be any different than every other industry. They are all out to get us.
This video had a whole lot of 'old man yells at clouds' in it.
The 'clouds' in this case are corporations encouraging gambling addiction in people, including children, for the sole purpose of making money.

His position is also that when the video game companies get hit by onerous regulations it will be a self-inflicted wound and that they have no one else to blame but themselves.

Indeed. It is a problem that, given time, will sort itself out.
I like Jim, he makes his money making noise about videogames. But the video was all 'this is bad' (which it is) and no 'what should be done.'
It's not his job to fix multi billion dollar companies' problems for free. Maybe the companies you're devil advocating for could spend some of those billions of dollars they make off the vulnerable customers, off their underpaid and overworked workforce and stolen in all but law from taxes and fix it themselves.
i know king of the hill is good, like, i factually know it, but i have never watched more than two episodes of it. I really really need to sit down and watch it sometime

Never. Ever. Will a problem that a company is profiting off "sort itself out" without people reporting on and criticizing it

Yup. The invisible hand of the market won't magically fix this kind of problem, and I can't even accept arguments to that effect as being made in good faith anymore.
The more this kind of awful predatory behavior gets talked about, the faster people can get appropriately angry. The faster people get angry, the more pressure can be applied to legislate against it.

She definitely separates herself from the other queer theory talking heads by way of the schtick and it's arguably what gets her the views so
It might not be to your taste (it's not to mine) but it's more important that the ideas get out there.
Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.

I'm guessing my internet bounced while the page was resizing or something.
In any case, my next D&D game is going places.

When I was growing up my dad had a Best of Kansas CD that I would constantly take to listen to Carry On Wayward Son.
This is my first time actually seeing what Kansas looks like and I honestly never would have expected them to just be a full D&D Adventuring Party
I have also had that weird stuff happen to YouTube.
the stuff that dedicated lead singers get up to during extended instrumental bits will never not be hilarious to me
