A dominant factor is going to be health care: we pay much more for it and the quality is worse. The answer varies by age. A $100K check at age 65 or older is a windfall, since even in America you won't pay that much in premiums before you qualify for Medicare.

Since winning runs take the longest there's some skew towards Watcher, because Watcher is by far the easiest.
I started playing in strict rotation back in May or June and rapidly got good enough at Watcher that it's dominating things now, and maybe I should do something else.

Ben Chestnut made $6B pretending to be progressive so that his employees would buy into his cult without demanding equity. Honestly the worst part about it is that he has nothing better to do with his life now than punch down on the social network for bland airheads (LinkedIn).
