But games are not a real job where a minister can enjoy some hi-vis and hard hat cosplay whilst proclaiming love for the working man
feels like yet again time to mention that the *videogames* industry (that's a creative industry, which people do creative degrees in) brings in more than twice the amount to the British economy as the fishing and steel industries *combined*
I cannot understand what these people think the purpose of human life is?
It is *not* "pursue joy, deal justly, love well, try to understand as much and see as much of this beautiful world and of the deepness, richness and variety of human culture and experience as you can before you die"?

“Do you know who had the greatest ass of all time? Hamburgler. Ass like a Romanian gymnast. But he was killed by immigrants. Immigrants are violent and hate great asses. That’s why Kamala lets them in. She’s a shit vice-president. Anyway pull through to the first window please.”

hmmm, can anyone remember which high profile Queens-based real estate financier used to be big friends with Sean "Puffy" Combs and boasted of his mentoring relationship with the hip-hop entrepreneur?

Wonderful read. "If you're Elon Musk, it's almost comically humiliating—or would be, if he was paying attention. But from a strictly tech-and-tech-management perspective it's a fascinating development. It's like watching the peak-obliterating explosion of a long-dormant volcano."
This one's long but I was having so much fun I just didn't want to stop. The supposed tech industry giant is almost hilariously inept at doing actual business stuff.

What would a budget that hit those with the "broadest shoulders" *and* was good for growth/public services look like? My suggestions:
1. Higher taxes esp on land/property
2. Costed/funded investment in economic/social infrastructure (care, kids, transport)
3. Reform debt rule

Here's a company that just reported quarterly profits of $4bn, sits on more than $30bn of cash, and has ruled out any dividend or share buyback for the foreseeable future. Which is totally normal
