Well, it's unclear if this means films that are shot abroad would also be subject to tariffs. If so it could be a problem for Star Wars given a lot of star wars shots are filmed in other countries

That's fair... But the point I was more trying to make is that Breath of the Wild, an 8 year old game that has a sequel out, is currently full price. It went on sale earlier this year for 40% off.

40% off a $70, 8 year old game is very different than 40% off an 8 year old game that was selling at $40-$50 without a sale.

The difference is: Microsoft and Sony 1st party titles go on sale and eventually come down in price over time.

Nintendo first party titles are always full price, even for 5 year old games.

I definitely would not want to be in a cybertruck caught in a landslide.

Anybody else misread the title by moving the hyphen over to the left by one?

This is probably why he wants it:

Unlike American citizens, gold card holders will not have to pay taxes to the U.S. government on their overseas income.

Not sure if that applies to us citizens with gold cards though.

Your friend is not joking. There's an epidemic of disinformation washing across the USA.

And thanks to the disinformation around vaccines, there are also several other types epidemics breaking out...

Tim Allen says Disney would not be making "Toy Story 5" if it was just about the money.

Riiiiight.

$1.05 trillion is spent on Medicare and Medicaid and yet drug prices are soaring and healthcare costs for Americans are at an all time high.

Meanwhile in Canada, in 2023 the federal government spent C$334 bn ($233bn USD) (source)

And in the UK, the budget for healthcare is £201.9bn ($266bn USD) (source)

Both Canada and the UK have free healthcare.

So for about 1/3 of the cost of what the US government pays in healthcare, other governments are able to provide free healthcare to their people.

The problem in the US isn't that they're spending money on social services. The US can solve its budget by regulating the out of control healthcare market. Other countries have done it, it's clearly not impossible.

I disagree. Ubisoft has been very consistently trash for a while.
