More of a "well we got what we could get while we could get it"

Which is ironic as fast food used to have 2 appeals - quick and cheap.

I'm not sure how quick they are these days because I can no longer afford it.

Well, they said it was a regrettable mistake! A whoopsie! Clearly, they didn't mean to do that, so we should still support them.

Where is the red line? Have we misplaced it?

Free market goes to the highest bidder.

It's a vicious pinch, rent rates going up preventing you from saving while housing rates (and minimum down-payment if you want a decent monthly mortgage/interest rate) are going up at the same time. My wife and I got lucky and we own our townhouse, but half of the properties vacated in our neighborhood either through eviction or owners moving out have all been turned into rental properties owned by a corp. It's fucked up, they want noone to own anything anymore so they can get richer through obscene rent hikes every year... And we live in MD. I can't even imagine trying to survive in NY or any other big city.

"Setting limits like this will hurt our industries/economy too much!" -some politician probably

At my last job we actually had a guy die of a heart attack right on his forklift. Not a public spectacle, but it made me realize how bad that company actually was. His position was filled by Friday...none wanted to tell the guy his predecessor just died right there on the forklift he's sitting in a few days ago.

Maybe the percentage is exaggerated, but I have no doubt that more people are having trouble keeping debt under control. I've hit a point where my debt is indefinitely growing, despite throwing every spare cent at my cards, and I've always been good with my debt. In the process of not using one of them, another gets piled on. Half of my pay goes to mortgage/utilities and the rest goes to my cards which are used for gas/groceries/dog food/emergencies. I've cut out everything I can at this point. My wife and I haven't gone out to dinner in almost a year, no vacations, and I'm hesitant to even take a day off because I will only get 8 hours of pay, losing the overtime. All of this, and my card debt still goes up every month by about $50, which isnt a lot, but it's unsettling that it's at a point of steady increase. In a few years, at least one of my cards will be maxed or close to it. One emergency like my last (3k in car repairs) will immediately max one of them. The only other options I have at this point are giving up my dogs, or starving myself. The working class, even the responsible ones, are struggling.

I guess the best I'll be able to do is take a half day off work on the day of my funeral.

Of all the exemptions, locations in airports? Where they charge you $30 for a meal just because? Unreal...

630-5 here. Of course, all of our office folk do, in fact, work 9-5.

Problem is that these will always be a thing because of whales. Am I supposed to not buy a game because of a micro like this? So basically quit gaming? Because they're everywhere now, and as long as whales exist, micros will exist. You need to pick your battles. I stopped buying multi-player games all together. I'm not limiting myself on single player games because of a minor micro that changes nothing about my single player experience.

Everyone could boycott this game except for the whales, and that handful would still be considered a win for them. Don't be disappointed in a single games sales, be disappointed in the current state of gaming.
