Thank you for explaining your view on this matter and yes I am happy now. This is all I ask, lets debate in a robust and constructive way even if we disagree with each other And just for the record I was talking about the broader principle of how the free market works and how price is influenced by supply and demand and availability of the item or goods The oil price is just one example based directly on this principle. And its not a monopoly as any country or company that has access to oil can trade oil based on the global price on the open market I cant comment on the reality of insulin production because I am not familiar with that sector

And Gfted1 has a spare room since his daughter moved out so we talking about at least 4-5 illegal immigrants who he could charge rent to ? Gfted1 forget UBI, this is how you can seriously increase your revenue stream

You can own cats and they dont have to be fat Shady. Their are some excellent books and advice on how as a cat owner this can be achieved. So no its not a joke to me but its also something that can be addressed if you put effort in https://www.wikihow.pet/Help-Your-Cat-Lose-Weight

I know their will be different definitions of grind and boredom but in some games I dont mind grinding, I find the repetition fun in some ways For example in RDR2 Online I still repeat hunting of animals for Collection purposes ...even though I have maxed my Naturalist role. I gain money but I have also bought everything you can buy in the online game yet I still enjoy the " grind " of hunting animals and selling the skins

One of my brothers stopped playing it because he said it became too much of a grind despite enjoying it in the beginning Interesting you have a similar view

Its unfair to cats to bring them into this debate, what have our feline friends ever done to be called " fat "

Did you kill him by yourself or with other players helping? Some of my brothers and their gaming friends are playing this game and they sometimes do things together. I dont know all the details because I havent played it yet

Yet here we are with people still taking the time on seemingly inconsequential topics to say things like " never mind, not worth it " People want to discuss politics and will continue to discuss politics, no one is forcing you to get involved or say " I dont care about this topic" I hope this makes sense ?

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2021/03/25/fact-check-false-claim-cnns-boulder-coverage-used-altered-image/7000497002/ @Skarpen I read your post in the Jokes section and initially I was annoyed that CNN would make such a claim but it turns out that image was altered and CNN never reported on the Colorado shooting like that I am not sure if you know that? When we see blatant anti-white sentiment and racist comments towards white people its important for those of us who are concerned with these comments that we focus on the real offensive comments and not those that are made up and fabricated

Yes but you wont generally see price increases when their is a demand and an availability of most goods For example bread and milk is always in demand yet the price remains stable and sometimes fixed in some countries like SA But if their was a shortage of milk and bread then the price will increase and also if the ingredients needed to make the goods becomes more expensive then the price will also go up like transport costs or when you import grain which is fixed on a global Dollar price so if your local currency starts to weaken this will impact inflation and the price of bread when you have to import grain .....like we do in SA

This is a debate, say what you think it relevant to the discussion

I constantly hear this criticism about profit being a bad thing. Its not accurate and doesn't reflect how any of our societies work. Firstly you have to profitable if you are a listed company for several reasons Your shareholders expect their investment to not lose money. The ability of a listed company to make its target is based on it reaching its yearly target which is normally 12-18 % of the previous yearly target. Which means it needs to " make profit " to reach its yearly target You cannot pay dividends, hire new people, award bonuses or grow the company without making profit as that means you now running at a loss because your expenses cannot exceed your revenue stream I am trying to explain why profitability matters in a simple way. The concern needs to be unreasonable margin on goods that make the purchasing price unfairly too high. But their is no normal business model where we should believe " making a profit is a bad thing "

Yes this is the basic rule of the free market and the principle of supply and demand, when their is a demand for something it can directly impact the price. And if that service or items suddenly become scarce then the price goes up but if the item is freely available their is no market driven reason the price should go up You can see this directly in the oil price, when their is an abundance of oil production the oil price stays low. But when OPEC and other oil producers slowdown on oil production the oil price rises

You make me laugh sometimes Dark, " stop promoting fatness as a beauty standard " I agree but thats just my opinion but we must keep supporting artists who promote hip-hop like Cardi B because that is definitely beauty 💞

That is a comforting aroma and you made a famous and delicious curry, dont be too hard on yourself for not getting the recipe 100 %. I always learn from similar endeavors and then fix it for the next time I cook the dish Also I am not an instinctive cook meaning I am not good at guessing measurements and quantities and if I dont follow the recipe properly its normally not how I wanted it So invest in a kitchen scale, I have one and its worth it to avoid having to guess quantity and amounts. And this can make a difference at the end 🍛

Thanks for the feedback, what would you rate it overall out of 100 ?

I was just pondering how their cant be a much better gastronomic smell than bacon, frying in a pan ....and you have that unctuous aroma wafting through the kitchen.....delicious !!! And some people dont eat bacon....why deny yourself that great treat ? 🥓

I am making my own hashbrowns for breakfast instead of buying frozen ones, its an easy recipe. You just fry sliced uncooked potatoes in oil and butter and then I am going to cook for 10 minutes on 180 Celsius 🥓

Thanks for sharing, that could lead to something really interesting

I meant to add I am also watching The Order, its very entertaining and has some interesting themes

https://www.callofsaregnar.com/ Great vision statement from the Devs

Here is some really good motivational words, some of them most of us will have heard before but its nice to see them all together

I think it looks good, it has potential and has some RPG mechanics I am not familiar with but they look interesting like the grid based combat system
