Topic | Are we going to see mass unemployment? |
Polycosm 03/20/20 1:30:40 AM #3 | Most businesses don't have cash to stay afloat for two months without any revenue. They're going to close, fast-- many of them permanently-- and they aren't going to be replaced overnight once the lockdowns are lifted. It's going to be painful, but on the bright side... the last time this country had a Great Depression, it spurred on some badly-needed, revolutionary changes. --- I bow before my emperor, Advokaiser-- winner of the 2018 guru contest.

But I guess I don't know how big of a pool those people areThat's going to be a very big pool of people. How many people got yeeted out of their jobs last week alone? We could be heading towards 20% - 25% unemployment in no time. --- I bow before my emperor, Advokaiser-- winner of the 2018 guru contest. (thengamer.com/guru) |
Topic | Republicans set to unveil Coronacash bill |
Polycosm 03/19/20 8:42:54 PM #57 | Not my idea, but... it needs to be $1K per adult per month, $500 per child per month, locked-in until GDP and unemployment return to some normal threshold. Otherwise, McConnell will obstruct anything and everything once Biden is in office, and this one drop in the bucket will be all the American people get. --- I bow before my emperor, Advokaiser-- winner of the 2018 guru contest.

Topic | The average person doesn't realize how serious the economic implications of this |
Polycosm 03/18/20 6:42:07 PM #16 | There's a very real possibility that our economy is heading for a depression. However, there's also a chance that this will ultimately shock the system in a positive way, leading to a more human-centered form of capitalism. In other words: TheGoldenEel posted...

Polycosm 03/18/20 4:18:29 PM #7 | I care more about the location than the time setting, personally. It feels like they're stuck doing the same cities.

Like, a Kroger and Aldis deal, or more of a Big Lots or something?My bad. They're a bulk / wholesale grocery store.

Polycosm 03/18/20 4:10:56 PM #2 | ...The statement says that the April 10 release will go ahead.

Polycosm 03/17/20 7:57:35 PM #9 | KillerKhan420 posted... Car culture? So the idiots with 3 drivers in 1 home, 3 kids and 6 vehicles is beneficial?Car culture = infrastructure, employment and housing patterns centered around the personal automobile as the primary form of transportation (as opposed to mass transit, walkable cities, etc). Goes hand in hand with suburban sprawl and low density zoning / city planning, among other things. --- I bow before my emperor, Advokaiser-- winner of the 2018 guru contest. (thengamer.com/guru) |

Polycosm 03/17/20 1:02:54 PM #2 | Now that you mention it... this does seem like the perfect opportunity for me to pick RDR2 back up. imo, it requires more of a consistent commitment due to how particular the controls and mechanics are.

Topic | Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair |
Polycosm 03/16/20 12:28:28 AM #3 | Impossible Lair is a very good DKC / DKCR tribute with plenty of ideas of its own. Tropical Freeze is better, but they tie on music and Impossible Lair has a better overworld by far. Impossible Lair is much better than the first Yooka-Laylee game by a clear margin for me, although it's hard to directly compare them since 2D and 3D platformers are essentially different genres. Still, if you were disappointed with the first game, don't let that stop you from giving the second a try. --- I bow before my emperor, Advokaiser-- winner of the 2018 guru contest.

Polycosm 03/15/20 9:23:40 PM #13 | Houston posted... I think it's very worrisome. We could end up with a completely crashed economy in addition to the virus. WAY more people could potentially die, become homeless, or displaced over this than actual Corono deaths.We could also end up with a yearly version of this virus that culls our population at a rate 10x that of the flu, stacked on top of the flu. The potential economic impact of that ain't great either. --- I bow before my emperor, Advokaiser-- winner of the 2018 guru contest. (thengamer.com/guru) |

Polycosm 03/15/20 8:34:25 PM #6 | Antiviral treatments are undergoing human experimentation now. It could be a matter of a couple months if any of these early attempts work.

Polycosm 03/15/20 7:24:27 PM #7 | I think instead of attacking Biden, Bernie uses this debate as an opportunity to link the pandemic to M4A.
