It's The Americans, a show that ran while most of these were on the air and was just as good if not better every season.
Take away all the GOAT candidates: The Wire, Sopranos, Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, and Lost.
What’s the best show outside of that group?

Same reason they'd pay $70 for a decent game when they can get a great one for $30, only now they get 10 bucks more and the $30 ones (which they also make) look like better values, and Game Pass looks like a better value, and sales look like better values.
Xbox said this week it will begin selling games at $80. For all but the top products, this price hike may prove to be a critical mistake. Why would people pay $80 for a decent game when they can get a great one for $30?

PlayStation fans have speculated for years about Bluepoint's new projects since the well-received PS5 remake of Demon's Souls (2020).
I can report that from 2020-2022 they were helping on God of War Ragnarok. Since then they've been on the live-service project that was canceled today. Now, unclear

Nope. A hit on a player that can knock them out of the game and change the result needs this type of penalty or else there's no reason to hold back.
This 3 GAME SUSPENSION of Azeez Al-Shaair for the Trevor Lawrence hit is absurd. The NFL needs to stop this BS. That was a late slide from Trevor and we all know it. Yes, the hit was a bit much and a fine would do, but THREE GAMES WITHOUT PAY?? Defensive players are in a legit no-win position!!

The other alternative, or partial effect, will be games and studios being shut down. Some games are not viable at higher prices and lower sales volume.
Anyways, if new physical video games are hit with an import tax which prompts an increase in their price to consumers, the most likely scenario would be the price of digital games would be raised to be at parity.
Or the alternative would be to abandon physical. Either way, not great.

Man I do not want to defend Jerry Seinfeld but when the only shows people call out to disprove him are all over a decade old, you are making his point for him.

My wife will still tell tales of going to Blockbuster and being there an hour just walking the aisles.

The trend in pedestrian deaths rising has existed since 2009 after a consistent fall since 1979. www.consumerreports.org/car-safety/p...
So this rise began over 11 years before COVID and was believed to be driven by more mileage, higher speed, more SUVs, etc.
I'd guess smart phones mattered too.

This is not data, but almost everyone I know has said that people seem to be much worse drivers post-COVID. Not everyone, but there’s a lot more people who tailgate or go out of turn or the like.
This is data: pedestrians killed by cars are hitting record highs.

The number of pedestrians killed by drivers has been climbing for over a decade. Experts say some solutions are within reach.

Unless, of course, the state changes the yellow light timing to trick people into getting red light tickets. ww2.motorists.org/blog/6-citie...
Describing a red light camera ticket where they have you dead to rights breaking the law as "the state stealing money" is a sign of a deeply anti-social world view
