The global economy is driven by the petrodollar and the US has been printing money. And the EU has been printing money. On top of stagnating growth by hamstringing all production that keeps the economy propped up, both by self-flagellating regulatory schemes and covid lockdowns. Joe Biden was one of the greatest cheerleaders for all this, personally responsible for a significant chunk of it, and the infrastructure bill was one ear on that belt. And "daring to invest in infrastructure" looks ridiculous now when the results of this fiscal irresponsibility is the proximate gutting of our nation's infrastructure. They can't afford to build bridges and repair roads and we're going to suspend their revenue source. And worse yet, its not like its offset by the previous spending, when 90% of that package was just social programs being passed surreptitiously by pretending they were infrastructure.

so the infrastructure bill is NOT responsible for the global inflation we're experiencing? yeah, that's what i thought...

how about going after highly subsidised corporations which are posting record profits? oh right, you can't blame biden for the gas price then, and your donors might be mad at you, so naturally republicans oppose such measures - shows how much the REALLY care about the average consumer...

seemed like a ladder reset on crack at first. then all of a sudden almost every skill in the game got 10% buffs and new synergies, all to make PVM builds no one asked for more viable, and it nuked pvp. who wanted an arctic blast druid to be viable? java zon was already s tier pvm char and they just randomly made it better for no reason. summon druid got dogs AND bear, which is ok i guess, but needs shockwave in pvp and skills that cause swirlies are banned lol. FOH is a legit build for pvm, like wtf.

Have you tried diablo immortal? I play it when im on the road and it's a nice little game if you don't put $ in it. People hate it because they think it's what stop them from being competitive when they wouldn't be near the top 20 either way but its a nice game when you dont care bout p2w. I gave up on PC gaming. Too much of a waste of time when we have limited time on Earth.
