Au contraire, it makes sense to cover the most generally recommended delivery method in-depth. Like Keynes said, if a thing is not worth doing, it's not worth doing well.

It is the most generally recommended method by *the guide itself*, which is not a scholarly contribution to the sociology of medicine but rather advice. The appropriate contrast of general recommendations is to special ones, which apply under special conditions.

UBI funded through a set level of LVT combined with open borders would be just about the wokest reform possible in effect. Add some taxes on global rents to fund a global UBI and now we're cooking.

Imo this is overstated—they'll make an exception without changing their worldviews. It's true on the margin though, which does matter.

After leaving HBO Max earlier this year, ‘Looney Tunes’ is a hit on Tubi, the company says, and popular across generations. It should be a model for every classic cartoons trapped in streaming limbo.

I think we all should have an ownership of our likeness in an age Meta could just use it to make profit. No-one should be subjected to being profited from or being humiliated, just think of the liberals holding diaper Trump balloons.

Interest rate hikes and tax code changes—R&D is no longer deductible in the same way they used to be in the US—are a big deal, the market isn't growing quite at the same pace as it used to, winner takes it all dynamics, F2P games mastering proce discrimination between whales and empty pockets.

Imo it's more closely related to broadband internet, if we're indexing this to particular technologies.

Actually I think the structure of success—f2p service games, AAA games or the occasional Balatro like indie hit—is intimately related to why the industry is in dire straits.

I don't, but you might need to train it vigorously. I clicked "Show Me Less" mercilessly and now it's better.
